In every country , the intellectual class is the most influential class, if not the governing class. The intellectual class is the class which can foresee, it is the class which can advice and give lead. In two country does the mass of the people live the life of intelligent thought and action. It is largely imitative and follows the intellectual class. There is no exaggeration in saying that the entire destiny of a country depends upon its intellectual class. If the intellectual class is honest, independent and disinterested, it can be rusted to take the initiative and give a proper lead when a crisis arises. It is true that intellect by itself is no virtue. It is only a means and use of means depends upon the ends which an intellectual person pursues. An intellectual man can be a good man but he can easily be a rogue. Similarly an intellectual class may be a band of high-souled persons, ready to help, ready to emancipate erring humanity or it may easily be a gang of crooks or a body of advocates of narrow clique form which it draws its support.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar On Intellectual Class in ‘Annihilation of Caste’,

It is the Primary responsibility of every educated person to serve his poor and ignorant brethren. After reaching an exalted position, this educated person forget his illiterate brethren. If he does not pay attention to thousands of his brethren, it would lead to a downfall of our society.
