Dr. B.R Ambedkar Biography

Baba Saheb in the USA and the UK

The Maharaja of Baroda had a scheme to send a few outstanding scholars abroad for further studies. Of course, Bhimrao was selected – but he had to sign an agreement to serve Baroda state for ten years on finishing his studies.

In 1913, he went to the USA where he studied at the world-famous Columbia University, New York. The freedom and equality he experienced in America made a very strong impression on Bhimrao. It was so refreshing for him to be able to live a normal life, free from the caste prejudice of India. He could do anything he pleased – but devoted his time to studying. He studied eighteen hours a day.

Ambedkar with Mahatma Gandhi

Even Though, after collaborative talks, Mahatma Gandhi and B.R Ambedkar decided to agree on a roadmap in the Pune Pact of 1932. In 1945, Ambedkar prepared a report entitled “What Congress and Gandhi have done to the Untouchables,” He questioned Mahatma Gandhi’s allegation that he favored the Hari people.

In the Prime of His Life

Babasaheb had by this time collected a library of over 50,000 books, and had a house named Rajgriha built at Dadar in north Bombay to hold it. In 1935 his beloved wife Ramabai died. The same year he was made Principal of the Government Law College, Bombay.Also in 1935 a conference of Dalits was held at Yeola.

Babasaheb told the conference: -We have not been able to secure the barest of human rights… I am born a Hindu. I couldn’t help it, but I solemnly assure you that I will not die a Hindu.” This was the first time that Babasaheb stressed the importance of conversion from Hinduism for his people – for they were only known as ‘untouchables’ within the fold of Hinduism.During the Second World War, Babasaheb Ambedkar was appointed Labour Minister by the Viceroy.

The memorial of Dr. B.R Ambedkar was created to honor his commitment to human rights and the betterment of the lower section. In addition, his birth anniversary is commemorated on April 14 every year as Ambedkar Jayanti. This day is declared a national holiday too. Ambedkar Jayanti is also known as Bhim Jayanti. That surely indicates he is still remembered for his significant contribution to the country by his fellow citizens.

Constitution of India

Dr. BR Ambedkar

Ambedkar highlighted the importance of creating a true bridge across all parts of society. According to B.R. Ambedkar, if the imbalances among various country sections are not bridged, it’ll be impossible to maintain the nation’s unity. And thus, his primary aim in writing the constitution was to eliminate caste prejudice and untouchability inside the country and bring a social revolution by establishing an untouchable free society and granting equality to all. He also focused on religion, gender, and caste equality. On August 29, 1947, Dr. Ambedkar was named Chairman of the Constitutional Drafting Committee.

Ambedkar also managed to win the consent of the Legislative Assembly for quotas for citizens of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in education, government positions, and public service.

Acceptance Of Buddhism

Dr. BR Ambedkar

B R Ambedkar visited Sri Lanka in 1950 to take part in an intellectual conference. He was a vocal opponent of caste segregation and an outspoken critic of Hindu religious rites. And in the end, he was so moved by Buddhist principles that he decided to embrace Buddhism. A number of Buddhist scriptures were also written by him after his return to India.

Visiting Kathmandu for the Fourth World Buddhist Conference was Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar. On October 14, 1956, B.R. Ambedkar convened a large assembly at which he persuaded approximately 5 lakhs of his supporters to convert to Buddhism. After his passing on December 2, 1956, he completed his final piece, “Buddha or Karl Marx,” which was afterwards published.
