Today’s quote is from B.R. Ambedkar (1891-1956), the Indian politician, activist, and jurist who (among other things) served as Chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Indian Constitution.

This is it:

A people and their religion must be judged by social standards based on social ethics. No other standard would have any meaning if religion is held to be necessary good for the well-being of the people.
