On the momentous occasion of Sunday, June 25, a remarkable achievement unfolded as a street in New York City was officially dedicated to the revered visionary leader, Baba Saheb Ambedkar. The renowned 61st Street Broadway will henceforth bear the illustrious name of this world-famous Indian luminary, thanks to the unwavering efforts of the Shri Guru Ravidas Sabha and the Begumpur Cultural Society of New York.
In an exclusive conversation with Deelip Mhaske, an esteemed US-based activist, shed light on the arduous path traversed to accomplish this remarkable feat. “The procedural hurdles were formidable,” he remarked. “As Senate approval was required, the process involved several years of patient waiting. However, our endeavors received crucial support from a local councilor of Asian descent, and subsequently, Senate Members and Congresswomen rallied behind the cause, pushing it through the Democratic Party. Eventually, our collective efforts yielded success.”
