“The Greatest Indian After Mahatma Gandhi” Poll from 23rd May 2012 to 15th May 2012,

Dr.B.R.Ambedkar was :

• a political leader who lived in India from the year 1891 to the year1956.
• a great scholar, an electrifying orator, a barrister of international repute and firmly believed that only
• a true social justice and equal opportunities can hold this vast nation together.
• the chief architect of the Indian Constitution.

Dr.Ambedkar challenged untouchability in a democratic manner and he was the most powerful and credible voice against its practice. As Independent India's first Law and Justice Minister he made progressive, modern laws.

He is as relevant today as he was 60 years ago. He is THE man who made all the differences to the lives of hundreds  of millions of Dalits and other exploited communities.

His immortal words, “They alone rise who strive. Some of you nurse the wrong notion that you will not rise in this world. But remember that the age of helplessness has ended. A new epoch has set in”, still inspire  millions of oppressed.
