Babasaheb Ambedkar Death Anniversary: 5 Films On The Life Of Dr BR Ambedkar

Students have been reading about Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar in schools since their childhood. He was the prime architect of the 온라인카지노 constitution. He has been referred to with epithets such as Babasaheb and Father Of The 온라인카지노 Constitution. While his works have been taught to every 온라인카지노 student, his life has, however, not been spoken about that much in history books.

Born on April 14, 1891, Ambedkar was an economist, lecturer, and lawyer who battled against the societal injustice against untouchables. He was selected as independent India's first justice minister and head of the 온라인카지노 Constituent Assembly's Drafting Committee. Babasaheb drafted the first version of India's Constitution, and there have been numerous amendments to it over the years. He went on to become one of the most revered leaders who not only fought for the independence of India but even thought about how to bring forward the communities that had been left behind for centuries. He worked extensively for the upliftment of the lower castes and communities who were struggling to get basic necessities of life.

Ambedkar died on December 6, 1956. He was posthumously awarded India's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, in 1990.

Several works, including films, plays, and books, have been based on Ambedkar's life. In numerous languages, films have been made about his life.
