Dr B R Ambedkar was born in a caste which was considered as the lowest of the low. People said that it was a sin it they offered
him water to drink, and that if he sat in a cart it would become unclean. But this very man framed the Constitution for the country.
His entire life was one of struggles. And his personal life was too sad; he had lost his first wife and sons. But even though he did
not lose his dareness for the social welfare of people of India. The boy who suffered bitter humiliation became the first Minister for
Law in free India, and shaped the countrys Constitution.

Dr B R Ambedkar

It is no wonder that everyone called him `Babasaheb, out of love and admiration. Bhimrao Ambedkar was the lion-hearted man
who fought for equality, justice and humanity.
