Ambedkar's Fight Against Social Discrimination
Call him a jurist, a politician, an economist, a social reformer or a messiah for the Dalit community, Dr. Ambedkar donned many hats and dedicated his entire life to the welfare of the underprivileged.
Dr. Ambedkar was born on 14 April, 1891, in Mhow town of Madhya Pradesh state's Indore district, Dr. Ambedkar, also known as Babasaheb. He became the 14th and last child of Ramji Maloji Sakpal.
It was a poor Dalit family that was treated as 'untouchables' and therefore, subjected to atrocities and socio-economic discrimination.
At a very young age, Ambedkar witnessed social discrimination, right from his school, where he and other Dalit children weren't allowed to touch the water or the container and someone from the higher caste would pour water for them.
He was also not allowed to be inside the class and used to sit on a gunny sack.
As he grew up, Dr. Ambedkar started fighing against social evils such as untouchability and discrimination on the basis of caste, defending the rights of the oppressed throughout his life.
He did his graduation in Economics and Political Science from Bombay University and bagged his first job in the Baroda State Government.
At 22, Ambedkar won a scholarship at Columbia University and obtained a Master's degree, and went on to do a Ph.D.
Famous as the first Indian to pursue a doctorate in Economics abroad, Dr. Ambedkar also went to the London School of Economics and studied history, economics, and political science and also wrote on a range of topics including the caste system in India.
Dr. Ambedkar is remembered as the architect of the Indian Constitution who chaired the Drafting Committee of the Constituent Assembly and was the first law minister of India.
As a jurist, he played a key role in the formation of the country's apex bank -- the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
