life sketch of DR B R AMBEDKAR
Answers
Answer:
Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar ( 14 April 1891 – 6 December 1956), also known as Babasaheb Ambedkar was an Indian jurist, economist, politician and social reformer, who inspired the Dalit Buddhist movement and campaigned against social discrimination towards the untouchables (Dalits). He was British India's Minister of Labour in Viceroy's Executive Council, Chairman of the Constituent Drafting committee, independent India's first Minister of Law and Justice, and considered the chief architect of the Constitution of India.
On the 125th anniversary of Ambedkar’s birth, Sonali Campion looks back on the life of the leading jurist and social reformer. She considers how his education in India and abroad, as well as his lifelong campaign to advance the rights of minorities, meant he was uniquely qualified to lead the process of crafting of the Indian Constitution after independence.
Thursday 14 April 2016 marked the 125th birth anniversary of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, who is perhaps best known as the principle architect of the Indian Constitution and a staunch champion of Dalit rights (or ‘Untouchables’ as they were referred to in colonial India). He played a key role in the discussions leading up to independence, for example as one of the two Untouchable delegates chosen by the British to attend the Round Table conferences on India’s constitutional status in the early 1930s. He also served as the first Minister of Law and Justice in post-colonial India between 1947 and 1951.
