Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was a prominent Indian social reformer, lawyer, and politician, best known for his work in championing the rights of the marginalized, particularly the Dalits, formerly known as "untouchables." He played a key role in the drafting of India’s Constitution and advocated for social justice, equality, and education for all. Ambedkar’s efforts helped challenge caste discrimination and promote the idea of equal rights for every citizen. He converted to Buddhism in 1956, aiming to inspire others to break free from the oppressive caste system. His legacy continues to influence social movements in India today.
