SAVITRIBAI PHULE - A step toward emancipation.

Savitribai Phule.

(3 january 1831 - 10 march 1897)

From the discovery of agriculture to the emergence of human civilization, we see a woman at the center of everything. According to the natural order, from primitive times, the institutions of family and society were matriarchal in nature. In a matriarchal system, there was no place for exploitation; love, compassion, and nurturing care were its core values.

However, over time, due to male ego, this matriarchal system was dismantled and replaced by a patriarchal structure. From that point onward, the family institution—and consequently society itself—began to deteriorate. The extreme outcome of this system was the reduction of women to mere objects of consumption. This mindset became deeply ingrained.

In India, there was even the cruel practice of sati, where a woman was forced to die along with her deceased husband. To liberate women from these oppressive chains and mental slavery, a woman emerged in the modern era—Savitribai Phule.

Savitribai Phule can be regarded not only as a great social reformer of India but also as a global figure who worked toward the restoration of matriarchal values. She carried out this work at a time when patriarchal and male-dominated society was culturally entrenched. The resistance she faced was therefore intense and inevitable.

Yet, undeterred by opposition, she continued her work relentlessly. As a result of her efforts, women today are able to move forward in many fields, think independently, and express themselves freely.

Recently, we celebrated her birth anniversary. On that occasion, we offer her revolutionary salutations. Inspired by her work, may every woman become free, and may our declining social system once again be filled with love, compassion, and nurturing humanity—this alone is our true hope.

Education

Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research.

EDUCATION IS THE THE MILK OF A TIGRESS.

Education is the milk of a tigress. Whoever drinks it is bound to roar. This is not just a slogan — it is the nectar for all the oppressed. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar knew that in a deeply unequal and caste-ridden society, education was the only weapon of true liberation. Even today, countless marginalized individuals possess talent, skill, and ambition — but fear, superstition, and systemic traps hold them back. That’s why Babasaheb’s words must echo louder than ever: "Education is the milk of a tigress. Whoever drinks it will roar!" #Ambedkar #EducationForAll #BahujanUnity #Navmantra #SocialReform

Cast and Varna system in India.

In the Indian social system, you cannot live as a human being simply as a human. An Indian remains confined only within his caste. His economic, social, educational, and cultural formation, as well as his emotional development, are shaped within caste and are destroyed there as well. Whatever collective feeling should exist as a nation or as a society can never truly develop. Why does such dreadful inequality exist? Because it is based on the caste system. The creation of this system was not only to exploit and reduce competition for the benefit of the Brahmin community, but also to ensure that, even though a person possesses ability, skill, and willpower, he remains trapped within his caste or is forced to work only in that sphere. Most importantly, if you show willpower and try to break the caste system, the system confuses you. It makes you believe you can achieve everything, but in reality, you cannot—because you cannot change your emotions, nor can you detach from your rela...
