Okay so like… Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was literally built different when it came to education. Bro wasn’t just book-smart, he was elite-tier scholar mode.
He started off in India, but then got a scholarship to go all the way to the U.S. to study at Columbia University, where he got his M.A. in Economics in 1915. And not just chillin’ — he went full throttle and got a Ph.D. in Economics from Columbia by 1927 (he actually finished most of it earlier but submitted later).
Then he hit up London, and that’s where he really went beast mode. While at the London School of Economics (LSE), he started working on his D.Sc. in Economics — and yeah, he got it, making him the first South Asian to do so.
But wait, there’s more 😤 — he also studied law at Gray’s Inn, one of the four Inns of Court in England, and became a barrister. That means he was literally a lawyer, an economist, a political theorist, and a whole constitutional boss. Like… man could’ve picked any one of those lanes and been legendary, but he just said “why not all of them?”
His specializations? Economics, Law, Political Science, Sociology, and Philosophy. Literally mastered everything he needed to take on the British Empire and the caste system. King moves only.
