Dr. Gail Omvedt Writes,
~ Mahatma Phule considers formation of people in "ekmay lok" i.e. "homogeneous people" a precondition for the formation of the nation. He envisages that this could be achieved despite different cultural, religious etc. characters of various groups of people. For both, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and Jotiba Phule, annihilation of castes is a basic precondition for achieving lasting peace in the Indian socioeconomic formation. The nature of caste exploitation is based on "graded hierarchy" which brings about "division of labourers" which creates a constant war like situation. Peace becomes impossible in such a situation. ~
