He was one of the veteran Ambedkarite, witness to the historic Deekshabhumi celebrations both in Nagpur and Chandrapur. He was a dedicated soldier of the Samata Sainik Dal and was always proud of being there. There was no other party for him except Samata Sainik Dal. The man who spent about 14 years in Jail for no fault of him, as a murder accused and yet used his time in jail too to spread the message of Baba Saheb Ambedkar. This conversation was recorded last year when I went to Deekshabhumi. Sadly, Balchandra Rajaram Lokhande Saheb passed away on September 26th, 2018. The conversation with him was informative and enlightening though there were many points which may sound controversial but we agreed to disagree and as a person dedicated to complete freedom of expression, we put them here. I disagreed with many others who accuse Mai Saheb Ambedkar of killing Dr Ambedkar. We had two important interviews which are already uploaded. Shri Vijay Surwade ji who was very closely associated with Mai Saheb Ambedkar as well as Shri Suhas Sonawane, in Mumbai. In our conversations, we try not to bring individual issues of accusations and counter accusations but Lokhande Saheb was a dedicated man to Ambedkarism and many Ambedkarite felt that way too though we feel that accusations or controversy need to be put down to strengthen the movement. Vijay Surwade ji has already explained it in his book the contribution of Mrs Savita Ambedkar.
