Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (also known as Babasaheb Ambedkar) was an Indian jurist, economist, social reformer, and politician who is best known for his work as the chief architect of the Indian Constitution. Born into a socially and economically disadvantaged community in 1891, Dr. Ambedkar overcame immense obstacles to become one of India's most influential and visionary leaders.
Throughout his career, Dr. Ambedkar was a tireless advocate for the rights of the Dalit community (formerly known as "untouchables"), who were treated as outcasts and subjected to extreme forms of discrimination in Indian society. He played a pivotal role in the Indian independence movement and was instrumental in securing important legal and political reforms to improve the lives of Dalits.
Dr. Ambedkar also made significant contributions to the fields of economics, law, and social policy, and his ideas on social justice and equality continue to have a profound impact on Indian society today. He passed away in 1956, but his legacy as a champion of human rights and social justice lives on.
