Bharat Ratna Babasaheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar is known as the principle architect of the Indian Constitution and a vocal spokesman for Dalit rights. He experienced discrimination from an early age, which he vividly described in his later writings. At one place he writes- “When I was in school, I knew that when the children of the general category were thirsty, they could go to the water tap, open it and quench their thirst, but my situation was different. . I could not touch the tap and it was not possible to quench my thirst until some common man opened the tap for me.In 1920, he started a weekly Marathi newspaper, which strongly criticized caste discrimination. He founded two political parties to contest the elections awarded by the British in 1937 and 1946, though with little success against the resource-rich Congress Party. When India became independent in 1947, Prime Minister Nehru invited him to become the first Law and Justice Minister. The constitution was implemented on January 26, 1950.Dr. Ambedkar appreciated that it has its limits.Heart-wrenching story of Babasaheb's eternal struggle, in which his child-struggle has been expressed eloquently.
