Contribution for India

B.R. Ambedkar was a multi-talented individual. He was a politician, a lawyer, an economist, a social reformer and most importantly a true leader for the very oppressed. Ambedkar was also a key force behind every movement which was organized to fight discrimination and injustice. His sole motto in life was to eradicate the myriad inequalities that were prevalent in society. At that time when the concept of equality was almost non-existent that time he stood for justice for every oppressed person. Ambedkar’s knowledge and wisdom make India’s constitution one of the longest and most well-written constitutions of the world.
