As I walked home from the bus stop, I wondered, what are the similarities between Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Architect of the Indian Constitution, and the woman's brassiere? No doubt you too, dear reader, have pondered over this question until the wee hours of whatever time you are generally asleep.
Firstly, Ambedkar was a great supporter of the downtrodden; a brassiere provides similar support to sagging breasts. In fact, the term 'uplifting' has been applied to both through history.
Both the modern brassiere as well as Ambedkar came into large scale action from the 1930s.
Both were revolutionary and helped in securing freedom for the oppressed.
Ambedkar had origins in the untouchable caste, while the brassiere is an original cast for the 'untouchables'. (yeah, now I'm really milking this, pun intended)
Oh yeah, and of course there's this: (scroll down for the surprise, this post isn't over yet, idiot)

In fact, that there looks like a bra in the picture. (No more clues)
Remember Ambedkar turned Buddhist, all you righteous outraged admirers thinking violent thoughts.
Hilarious!!! Looks like you've given the matter some serious weight.. :P
ReplyDeleteand the fact that its a woman whos gone sooo far ahead in his support that shes diverted a fair share of her state funds in his name is a worth a thought ;P
