    Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was literally the blueprint for modern India. My guy pulled up with degrees from Columbia and LSE, then went on to draft the freakin’ Constitution. Not just that — he fought for Dalit rights, women’s rights, and just human rights in general before it was even a trend. Basically, if India’s democracy had a vibe check, Ambedkar passed it with flying colors.

    Dr. Ambedkar was basically the OG multitasker — he had degrees from Columbia (M.A., Ph.D. in Econ), studied at the London School of Economics (D.Sc.), and also trained as a lawyer at Gray’s Inn in the UK. Man really said, “Why stop at one when you can have all?” 🔥📖

    Straight up, Ambedkar and Gandhi were on totally different wavelengths, even if they both wanted a better India.

    Politics? Gandhi wanted moral transformation through peaceful resistance. Ambedkar wanted legal and institutional safeguards — like actual power for the powerless.
    Economics? Gandhi was anti-industrial, into villages. Ambedkar said that’s not gonna cut it for the poor — he backed modern industry and state intervention.
    Social reform? Gandhi saw untouchability as evil, but still supported caste in theory. Ambedkar said caste is poison, period. He fought to end it — full stop.

    Their impact? Gandhi moved hearts. Ambedkar moved systems. Both mattered, but if you’re talking about long-term foundations — Ambedkar built the house.

    For real, Ambedkar spoke from the soul. Dude lived through the roughest kind of injustice and still believed in building something better for everyone. Some of his lines really hit:

    • “We are Indians, firstly and lastly.”

    • “Cultivation of mind should be the ultimate aim of human existence.”

    • “Democracy is not a form of government, but a form of social organization.”

    Man had vision. Not just for laws and politics, but for how we treat each other as people.

    Ambedkar’s views on the Constitution were honestly ahead of his time. He believed it should be a living document — flexible, yet strong enough to protect the most marginalized. He was really clear that political democracy had to go hand-in-hand with social democracy. And you could tell he was hopeful but cautious — he warned us about how easily things could go wrong if we let inequality creep back in.

    I still remember standing in front of Ambedkar’s statue for the first time — it gave me goosebumps. The area was calm, and yet, it felt powerful. You could just feel the weight of history there. Watching people bow their heads or just pause in respect… it really made me reflect on how much he fought for, and how relevant his ideas still are.

    ​While exact figures are not readily available, it is widely recognized that Maharashtra has the highest number of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar statues in India. This is largely due to Ambedkar’s significant influence and legacy in the state. Notably, Mumbai is set to host the ‘Statue of Equality,’ a 137.3-meter tall monument dedicated to Ambedkar, expected to be completed by May 2026. ​

    Other states also feature prominent statues honoring Ambedkar. In Hyderabad, Telangana, a 125-foot tall bronze statue was unveiled in April 2023, making it the tallest Ambedkar statue in India at the time. Additionally, Andhra Pradesh is home to the ‘Statue of Social Justice,’ a 206-foot tall statue located in Amaravati. ​

    These monuments reflect Ambedkar’s enduring legacy and the widespread respect he commands across the nation.

    Ambedkar’s shift to Buddhism was more than a religious change — it was a social and political statement. He had tried working within Hinduism to bring reform, but the caste system was just too deeply rooted. After decades of fighting discrimination and seeing no real structural change, he gave up on Hinduism completely.

    He chose Buddhism because it offered a path rooted in reason, compassion, and equality — everything he felt was missing in caste-based Hindu society. After his conversion, he was very clear: he didn’t want his followers to look back. Hinduism, to him, had nothing more to offer once he walked away.

    Babasaheb’s quotes are seriously powerful — like, they make you stop and think. Here are a few that really bring out who he was and what he stood for:

    1. “Educate, agitate, organize.”

    2. “Be educated, be organized and be agitated.”

    3. “We must stand on our own feet and fight as best as we can for our rights. So carry on your agitation and organize your forces.”

    4. “Indifferentism is the worst kind of disease that can affect people.”

    5. “Equality may be a fiction but nonetheless one must accept it as a governing principle.”

    These aren’t just historical quotes — they still hit hard today.

    That's a complex one. BSP did bring some visibility and pride back to Bahujan identity, and they've made real strides at times — especially under Mayawati's leadership.

    That’s a complex one. BSP did bring some visibility and pride back to Bahujan identity, and they’ve made real strides at times — especially under Mayawati’s leadership. But if we’re talking about fully living up to Ambedkar’s constitutional ideals — like true social, economic, and political equality — there’s still a long road ahead. Symbolism has often outweighed structural change, which is frustrating for many.
