Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar Jayanti: Celebrating Ambedkar Jayanti today on 132nd birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna Awardee B R Ambedkar

Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar’s birth anniversary is celebrated as Ambedkar Jayanti on 14th April. Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar was also known as Babasaheb. He was a Philosopher, Anthropologist, Historian, Jurist, and the Chief Architect of the Indian Constitution.

He was considered a driving force behind the campaign against the Indian caste system and the Dalit Movement in India. He dedicated all his life to promoting equality, encouraging progressive reforms, and social justice.

On the birth anniversary of Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, we are here with some wishes, quotes, and messages that you can share with your friends and family, but before that let’s have a quick look at Dr Bhimrao’s life journey.

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.

List of some B R Ambedkar's best quotes :

  • I like religion which teaches liberty, equality, and fraternity.

  • Cultivation of the mind should be the ultimate aim of human existence.

  • Men are mortal. So are ideas. An idea needs propagation as much as a plant needs watering. Otherwise, both will wither and die.

  • So long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever freedom is provided by the law is of no avail to you.

  • Law and order are the medicine of the body politic and when the body politic gets sick, medicine must be administered.
