About Bharat Ratna Awardee Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar:
Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar, known as the “Father of the Constitution”, was a politician, jurist, and economist from India as we said earlier. He was born on 14th April 1891. He led the Dalit Committee and then drafted Indian Constitution. He was a strong supporter of women’s and labor rights. Later on, he becomes the first Law Minister. Hence, it can be said that on 14th April, the social rights advocate is honored.
Ambedkar was born into an impoverished Dalit Mahar family and dedicated his entire life to fighting for Dalits who were deemed untouchables by society at that time. Thus, we can say that his birthday offers us an opportunity to reflect on Indian socio-economic progress.
In 1928, Janardan Sadashiv Ranapisay observed Bhim Jayanti and declared a public holiday in 25+ Indian states and Union Territories. On Ambedkar Jayanti, important leaders of our country, including the Prime Minister and President, pay respect and tribute to his statue in the Parliament.
So, let’s celebrate Ambedkar Jayanti together with some warm wishes, his quotes, and much more.
