How to say and live Jai Bhim

Jai Bhim the salutation used by Ambedkarites has become a mere social identifier. In this song, I lay our my views on how and when to utter it and how one needs to go beyond its utterance to skill building in dhamma and technology for organising ventures capable of ridding the community of its poverty and misery.




Marathi Lyrics
Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim

Jai Bhim Maza Shikanaryana, Jai Bhim Shikun Ladnaryana
Jai Bhim Nahi Adanayna, Jai Bhim Nahi Niskarmyana

Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim

Shikanaryano, Kashta Kara Re, Kastakaryano Shikshan Ghya Re
Baban Sarakhe Thode Vha Re, Nantar Jai Bhim Mhana Re

Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim

Kaushalya He Buddha Dnyan, Tantradnyan Dhamma Dnyan,
Sanghatana Hi Tumchi Shakti, Sangharsha Ne Deil Mukti

Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim

English Lyrics
Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim

My Jai Bhim is to those getting educated, My Jai Bhim is to those agitating after getting educated
My Jai Bhim is not for those who choose to remain ignorant, My Jai Bhim is not for those who choose to remain non-working

Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim

Those getting educated, please work hard. Those working hard, please get educated
Become a bit like Baba (Dr. Ambedkar), then say Jai Bhim with pride

Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim

Skill is knowledge of Buddha, Technology is knowledge of Dhamma
Organisating these is your power, Through struggle/agitation, it will give you your freedom

Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim, Jai Bhim
