Social order change must precede all other progress

Evidence

There is no doubt, in my opinion, that unless you change your social order you can achieve little by way of progress. You cannot mobilise the community either for defence or for offence. You cannot build anything on the foundations of caste. You cannot build up a nation, you cannot build up a morality. Anything that you will build on the foundations of caste will crack, and will never be a whole. — Ambedkar, B R, Annihilation of Caste_ The Annotated…, 943
