organized a museum popular lecture through the live streaming of the Facebook and YouTube addressing by Joint Director

Administration

and Security, Dilip Singh, I.T.S. He said, "The medical science shows that though the germs and viruses come from outside and infect us, the main role is played by the safeguards within our own bodies. This safeguard mechanism is called the immune system. If we translate it in the political history of India, we see that the immune system of Indian civilization has always proved itself very weak. This weakness is the result of the ages-old social and cultural discrimination, which was created in the name of the Varna system. These discriminatory practices have weakened India in the ancient past. This was seen as the most critical problem by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar when he was drafting the constitution of India. The relevance of

Dr Ambedkar

thoughts needs to be deeply revisited. In his own words, Dr. Ambedkar reminds us of the need of social democracy, he was very much apprehensive about the success of political democracy in the absence of

social democracy

in India. For him, social democracy is the internal safe gourd or the immune system of India."
