EDITOR’S NOTE: The following article is from a series of Questions answered by Shekhar Bodhakar
Dr Ambedkar’s own words:
Humanity does not only want economic values; it also wants spiritual values to be retained. Permanent Dictatorship has paid no attention to spiritual values and does not seem to intend to.
The Communist Philosophy seems to be equally wrong for the aim of their philosophy seems to be fatten pigs (without spiritual values) as though men are no better than pigs.
Man must grow materially as well as spiritually.

# The Communist Philosophy seems to be equally wrong for the aim of their philosophy seems to be fatten pigs (without spiritual values) as though men are no better than pigs.#
Page numbers of Ambedkar Writings and speeches are not same as pdf page numbers. You have been searching for pg 462 in pdf, that’s why you cannot find the reference.
Page 462 of writing and speeches is on pg 484 in pdf version.
Hope this helps.
