Over de Auteur
B. R. Ambedkar was a prominent Indian jurist, social reformer, and the chief architect of the Indian Constitution. Born on April 14, 1891, in Mhow, he faced significant social discrimination as a member of the Dalit community. Despite these challenges, he pursued education vigorously, ultimately earning multiple degrees from prestigious institutions, including Columbia University and the London School of Economics. Ambedkar dedicated his life to fighting against social inequality and championing the rights of the marginalized, advocating for the upliftment of the Dalits and other oppressed groups in India.
His most notable work, 'Annihilation of Caste', critiqued the caste system and called for the complete abolition of caste-based discrimination. Ambedkar's vision for India was one that emphasized social justice, equality, and fraternity among all citizens. He played a crucial role in the drafting of the Indian Constitution, ensuring that it enshrined fundamental rights and protections for all individuals, regardless of caste or creed. His legacy continues to inspire movements for social justice and equality in India and around the world.
