  • Description

    This book is the biography of a man who is known for having drafted the Indian Constitution.

    Summary of the Book

    Many books have been written about Ambedkar before this, but they all concentrate on his social activist side. This book focuses on how he made an effort to bring justice to the Dalits. Ambedkar was born into and belonged to the Mahar community. He underwent many humiliations and the Mahars were considered to be untouchables. He decided that the Dalits needed to be brought out of the Hindu society to be free. Gandhiji and other freedom fighters fought against the British rule, while Ambedkar concentrated on freeing the marginalized societies from orthodox oppression. He wanted to provide justice to these communities and provide them with equal rights so they could live with dignity and respect. In this book, the author has traced the life of Ambedkar from when he was a child to the struggles that he overcame. Today, he is one of the most highly respected leaders of the country.

    short and sweet

    In simple words 'short and sweet'. Though, there are many books written on Dr Ambedkar (even he himself wrote extensively on different issues)which have delved deep into his life and ideas, this one is suited for those who haven't had the opportunity to read Dr Ambedkar even once. The Book is not at all voluminous and I certainly feel that it has been able to capture the essence of Dr Ambedkar's life.

    Short Read. Good for overview

    A very short book on the life of Ambedkar. Good to have an overview of events in his life. Goes a little haphazard in the series of events. Read only if you want to have a brief understanding of his contributions.
