Life Events of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and Their Contribution
Ambedkar was an outspoken opponent of caste-based discrimination and social untouchability, and he encouraged Dalits to organize and demand their rights. He denounced Hindu scriptures that he believed promoted caste prejudice.
In 1925, he was a member of the Bombay Presidency Committee, which collaborated with the Simon Commission. He founded the ‘Bahishkrit Hitakarini Sabha’ to promote Dalit education and socioeconomic advancement. He founded publications such as Mooknayak and Bahishkrit Bharat.
He advocated separate electorates for the “depressed classes,’ the term by which Dalits were called at that time. He was in disagreement with Mahatma Gandhi since Gandhi was against any sort of reservation in the electorate. Later, An agreement was signed between Gandhi and Ambedkar in the jail, whereby it was agreed to give reserved seats to the depressed classes within the general electorate. This was called the Poona Pact.
In 1936, Ambedkar created the Independent Labour Party (which eventually became the Scheduled Castes Federation).
He argued for a free economy based on a stable rupee. He also suggested that birth control could help with economic development. He also stressed women’s equality. The Right to Constitutional Remedy, according to Ambedkar, is the Constitution’s essence. Dr. Ambedkar battled hard for the passage of the Hindu Code Bill, the most significant reform for women’s rights in marriage and inheritance during his time as Law Minister.
