India is a vast country and many people of the world have invaded it such as the Muslims, British’s, Portuguese’s, French’s and Dutch people. The name of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar brings to our mind a social reformer. He belonged to the first ranking leaders of India like Mahatma Gandhi, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhash Chandra Bose who fought for Independence of India. He had the distinction of getting higher education despite the many odds he had to face during the feudal Indian society. But he faced all the difficulties and rose to become a noted lawyer, a man of knowledge and wisdom. Dr. Ambedkar was not only the real father of nation but also the liberator of all oppressed people. No other icon can represent that cultural heritage in the modern period. He has been honored with Bharat RatnaIndia’s highest civilian award.
