This book serves as a vital resource for institutions, libraries, universities, scholars, and researchers in political science, modern history, and social work. Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, born on April 14, 1891, in Madhya Pradesh, was a distinguished politician and jurist who dedicated his life to fighting social injustices, particularly against untouchability and caste discrimination. As India’s first Law Minister in Jawaharlal Nehru's cabinet, he played a crucial role in shaping the nation’s legal framework. His legacy includes a posthumous Bharat Ratna award in 1990, recognizing his contributions to society. Despite battling serious health issues in his later years, Ambedkar's commitment to the rights of dalits and marginalized communities remains influential. He passed away on December 6, 1956, leaving behind a profound impact on Indian society and governance.
