Ambedkar gave a speech to Dalit railway workers.

He highlighted the economic hardships of Dalit railway workers, including low wages and poor working conditions.

He explained how caste discrimination under Brahmanism made their labour more difficult and limited opportunities.

He criticized the exploitation inherent in capitalist labour systems, linking social oppression with economic injustice.

He urged workers to organize, demand fair treatment, and fight for dignity and rights.

The speech marked a shift in his work, combining the struggle for social equality with economic justice.
