Consider the following ote : ""On the 26th January, 1950, we are going to enter a life of contradictions. In politics, we will have eality and in social and economic life we will have ineality."" To whom among the following leaders is this ote attributed?

The quote, "On the 26th January, 1950, we are going to enter a life of contradictions," is attributed to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. He delivered this prescient warning during his final speech to the Constituent Assembly on November 25, 1949. Ambedkar highlighted the paradox that while the new Constitution would establish political equality through the principle of 'one man, one vote,' the existing social and economic structures of India would continue to perpetuate deep-seated inequalities. He cautioned that if this contradiction—the gap between political democracy and social-economic reality—was not resolved, those suffering from inequality might eventually undermine the democratic structure the Assembly had built. This speech is often remembered for its 'Grammar of Anarchy' warning and its emphasis on achieving social democracy alongside political democracy.
