Dr. Ambedkar fought for civil rights and against caste and
untouchability, whereby he created confidence among millions of silent
masses. Thus, Dr. Ambedkar was not only the father of Indian
Constitution but also the liberator of all oppressed sections and
communities. No other icon but Dr. Ambedkar could truly represent that
socio-cultural heritage in modern times, thanks to his inspiration from
Jyotiba Phule, who was a pioneer in this context. As a social reformer,
Dr. Ambedkar developed a progressive outlook that elevated his
personality to its peaks. Humanist in him was present not only in his
words but also in deeds, and of course throughout his life.)

When India became Independent on August 15, 1947, the country was
crisis-ridden due to several socio-economic and political problems.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar popularly known as Dr. Babasaheb Bhimrao Ramji
Ambedkar, was a multifaceted personality, an intellectual, a
revolutionary, a philosopher, a patriot, a scholar, a writer, and the
constitution maker. He struggled against the untouchability and the
caste system. He began to get a taste of the bitter reality of being
born as untouchable. Every day he had to carry to the school, a piece
of gunny bag to sit upon and teachers would not touch his notebooks,
and if he felt thirsty in the school, he could quench his thirst only
if someone agreed to pour water into his mouth. He has popularly known
as the pioneer who initiated the liberation movement of roughly 65
million untouchables of India. He realized that the right of the
untouchables could only be safeguard by making constitutional
provision. He was a scholar as much as a "man of action". He gave an
inspiring self-confidence to the Dalits, untouchables and women. He was
in the favour of education and equal rights for everyone. He has been
regarded as a ray of hope, for downtrodden in India. His vision of
democracy and equality was closely related to good society, rationality
and the scientific outlook. He held that the emancipation of Dalit in
India was possible only through the three-pronged approached of
education, agitation and organization. Thus Ambedkarism is the great
relevance to Indian society to achieve social justice, removal of
untouchability, in establishing equality and true democracy. The
objective of this paper is to draw an outline for Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's
contribution to present Indian society.
