Answers
Essay on the Role of Ambedkar in Upliftment of Hindu Society – Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar [1891-1956] was a great modern social thinker, a born fighter, a famous advocate and a humanist. Dr. Ambedkar who was born in an “untouchable” or “dalit” community called “Mahar” in Maharashtra took a leading role in promoting the welfare of the untouchable castes and in elevating their status.
Being the most highly educated untouchable in India Dr. Ambedkar became the undisputed spokesman of the untouchables. He took many steps to reform the ways of the untouchables.
He fought against many of the injustices done to the untouchables by establishing a political party and a couple of organisations for the untouchables. Pandit Nehru rightly described him as the “symbol of the great revolt against all the oppressive features of Hindu society”.
