Ambedkar was chosen as the executive of the drafting board of trustees that was comprised by the Constituent Gathering to draft a constitution for the free India; He was India's first Law Minister; in 1990, awarded the Bharat Ratna.


Dr. B.R. Ambedkar is seen as savior of dalits and discouraged in India. He was the chairman of the drafting committee that the Constituent Assembly set up in 1947 to come up with a constitution for India when it became an independent country. He was influential in the constitution's creation. In addition, Bhimrao Ambedkar served as India's first law minister. For his yeoman administration to the country, B.R. Ambedkar was gave with Bharat Ratna in 1990.


Dr. On April 14, 1891, Bhimrao Ambedkar was born in Mhow, which is now in Madhya Pradesh. He was Ramji and Bhimabai Sakpal Ambavedkar's fourteenth child. B.R. Ambedkar belonged to the Mahar Caste, which means "untouchable." His dad and granddad served in the English Armed force. In those days, special schools were run by the government to ensure that the children of army personnel were educated. This made sure that Bhimrao Ambedkar got a good education, which would have been impossible for him because of his caste.


From a young age, Bhimrao Ambedkar was subjected to caste discrimination. Bhimrao's father moved to Satara, Maharashtra, after retiring. Bhimrao attended the neighborhood school. He had to sit on the floor in one of the classroom's corners here, and his notebooks were safe from teachers' hands. Despite these difficulties, Bhimrao continued his education and passed the Bombay University Matriculation exam in 1908 with flying colors. To further his education, Bhim Rao Ambedkar enrolled at Elphinstone College. He graduated from Bombay University in 1912 with degrees in political science and economics, and he got a job in Baroda.


Bhimrao Ambedkar lost his father in 1913. Around the same time Maharaja of Baroda granted grant to Bhim Rao Ambedkar and sent him to America for additional examinations. In July 1913, Bhimrao reached New York. Bhim Rao was treated with respect for the first time in his life because he was a Mahar. He devoted himself to his studies, earning a Master of Arts degree and a Doctor of Philosophy degree from Columbia University in 1916 for his thesis "National Dividend for India: A Study of History and Analysis" Dr. from America Ambedkar went to London to study political science and economics. However, his scholarship was terminated and he was brought back by the Baroda government.





Dr. Ambedkar was appointed as the political secretary of the Maharaja of Baroda. Because he was a Mahar, however, no one would take his orders. In November 1917, Bhimrao Ambedkar returned to Bombay. On January 31, 1920, he launched the "Mooknayak" (Dumb Hero), a fortnightly newspaper, with the assistance of Shahu Maharaj of Kolhapur, a supporter of the cause of the depressed classes. The Maharaja likewise met numerous gatherings and meetings of the "untouchables" which Bhimrao tended to. After accumulating sufficient funds, Ambedkar returned to London to finish his education in September 1920. He went on to earn a doctorate in science and practiced law.


Subsequent to finishing his examinations in London, Ambedkar got back to India. He established the Bahishkrit Hitkaraini Sabha (Outcastes Welfare Association) in July 1924. The point of the Sabha was to elevate the discouraged socially and strategically and carry them to the level of the others in the Indian culture. He led the Mahad March in 1927 at the Chowdar Tank in Colaba, close to Bombay, to grant the untouchables the right to draw water from the public tank, where he burned public copies of the "Manusmriti."


Ambedkar collaborated with the all-British Simon Commission, which was to investigate the establishment of a responsible Indian government in India, in 1929, a controversial decision. The Congress chose to blacklist the Commission and drafted its own variant of a constitution with the expectation of complimentary India. The depressed classes were not included in the Congress version. Ambedkar grew more skeptical of the Congress's commitment to protecting the disadvantaged classes' rights.


Gandhiji went on a fast until death in protest of the Ramsay McDonald 'Communal Award' announcement of a separate electorate for the poor. To comply with Dr. Ambedkar's request, leaders rushed to him. Dr. Ambedkar and Gandhiji came to an agreement on September 24, 1932, which became known as the Poona Pact. As per the agreement the different electorate request was supplanted with exceptional concessions like saved seats in the provincial administrative congregations and Focal Board of States.


Dr. Ambedkar vehemently advocated for the well-being of the "untouchables" at each of London's three Round Table Conferences. In the meantime, the British government decided in 1937 to hold provincial elections. In August 1936, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar founded the "Independent Labor Party" to run in the Bombay province elections. The Bombay Legislative Assembly elected him and many of his party's candidates.





Dr. Ambedkar introduced a bill in 1937 to end the "khoti" system of land tenure in the Konkan region, agricultural tenants' serfdom, and the Mahar "watan" system, in which slaves worked for the government. The depressed classes were referred to as "Harijans," or "people of God," in a clause of an agricultural bill. Bhimrao strongly opposed the untouchables' use of this title. He argued that all others would be monsters if the "untouchables" were people of God. He was opposed to making such a reference. However, Harijan was successfully introduced by the Indian National Congress. Ambedkar was resentful that they had no say over what they were called.


In 1947, when India became autonomous, the principal Head of the state Pt. Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, a Bengali law minister who had been elected to the Constituent Assembly, was invited to join Jawaharlal Nehru's Cabinet. Dr. Ambedkar was elected Chairman of the Drafting Committee, which was given the task of drafting the Constitution by the Constituent Assembly. Dr. Ambedkar presented the Indian people with the Draft Constitution in February 1948; The 26th of November 1949 saw its adoption.


In October 1948, Dr. Ambedkar presented the Hindu Code Bill to the Constituent Gathering trying to systematize the Hindu regulation. Even within the Congress party, the Bill sparked deep divisions. The bill's consideration was put off until September 1951. The bill was cut short when it was debated. Ambedkar resigned from his position as Law Minister, depressed.


He declared in Bombay on May 24, 1956, the day of Buddha Jayanti, that he would convert to Buddhism in October. He converted to Buddhism on October 14, 1956, along with many of his followers. Baba Saheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar passed away in his sleep on December 6, 1956.
