About the author
Born in 1891, B. R. Ambedkar rose from the harsh realities of caste discrimination to become one of India’s most important public thinkers and reformers. He studied at Columbia University and the London School of Economics, building a rare combination of legal, economic, and political insight that would define his public life.
Ambedkar is widely remembered for chairing the committee that drafted the Constitution of India and for serving as the country’s first law minister after independence. Throughout his career, he argued for the rights of people oppressed by caste, and he also spoke strongly for the rights of women and labor.
He was also a prolific writer whose work joined scholarship with moral urgency. His books, speeches, and essays continue to influence readers interested in democracy, social justice, religion, and the struggle for equality.
