Ambedkar Jayanti 2021 Date: Facts About Architect of Indian Constitution Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar

News 18  

Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, popularly known as Babasaheb Ambedkar, was a social reformer and the principal author of the Indian Constitution. After returning to India during the independence movement, in 1936, Ambedkar wrote his magnum opus ‘Annihilation of Caste’, a fiery critique of the caste system. Babasaheb’s personal library “Rajgirh” had more than 50,000 books and it was said to be the world’s largest private library. Leading a committed struggle against discrimination, he once said that even if India were to become independent, Dalits would still languish at the bottom of the social order unless caste was abandoned by all.
