By Mahatma Gandhi 1.THE NAMED THEM "HARIJANS" (the children of god). 2.THEY STAY WITH THEM AND CLEAN TOILETS TO SHOW THAT NO WORK IS BAD.. 3.THE MAKE THEIR SEPRATE ELETORES. By Ambedkar What did br ambedkar do for dalits? B. R. Ambedkar was the emancipator of dalits from the thousands of years of slavery and tyranny from the upper castes of India. He demanded for the separate electorate for the depressed castes of India which was awarded by the British but due to the stubbornness of Gandhi, reservation in the legislative assemblies was agreed upon through the Poona pact. Ambedkar made the world aware of the thousands of years of slavery prevalent in India. He created awareness among the depressed castes to understand who their real oppressors are and fight with them for their rights and dues. Its because of his relentless efforts that the untouchables were able to improve their socio-economic status post India's independence. He gave us a sense of security in the Independent India. He worked hard to make provisions in our Constitution like the fundamental rights and directive principles of state policy so that every Indian citizen would have certain rights from which a person cannot be alienated by the government and government should be responsible towards its citizens. Beside the depressed castes Ambedkar also worked for women empowerment. He proposed Uniform Civil Code (UCC, was introduced) which would have given equal rights to women in the matter of marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption and maintenance. But the defenders of patriarchal setup (the very same people who are now asking for UCC(Hindu code bill) now) were against this revolutionary measure. They claimed that Ambedkar was fiddling in their religious matter. They were not willing to let an untouchable make changes in the Hindu personal laws for the better of the Hindu women. He also worked for the welfare of workers. Because of his efforts the workings hours were reduced to 8 hours a day, which is still followed today. Pls mark as Brainiest.
