The Federation has been set up to propagate Ambedkar’s thought and Buddhist ideas throughout the world. The Federation in fact represents the amalgamation of the many groups which came into being in various towns and cities in the UK. It thus forms a unified front for our activities and concerns at a national level. Strength can only come through unity and organization. Part of the motivation for this organization in Britain was the awareness on the part of its founders that those Indians now living abroad have a moral obligation to maintain active connections with their homeland. We realized that, as people who can now enjoy a relatively comfortable and secure lifestyle, we must not merely allow ourselves to fall asleep and ignore our responsibilities and duties.

To be true to our roots and the way of life extolled by Buddha and Babasaheb Arnbedkar, we resolved to work to the best of our abilities for the betterment of our people and the nation of India. The importance of Ambedkar’s life and mission has not diminished and the India of today is still badly in need of paying heed to his ideas and putting them into practice. The attention of the world has to be brought to the continuing plight of oppressed Dalits in India and the campaign for their human rights conducted with all our power.
