The Legacy of Babasaheb Ambedkar

India Insight with Sunny Sharma

In this 8 minute podcast I describe the legacy of one of the Founding Fathers of India, greatest social reformer, and one of the primary drafters of the Indian constitution Babasaheb Ambedkar. Likened to Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King and President Barack Obama, B.R. Ambedkar rose from what would be normally a life of obscurity, neglect, poverty, and disempowerment to be a shining example of educational transformation as well as a life dedicated to transforming the underclass in India which includes Dalits to laborers. His hallmarks were Educate, Agitate, and Organize and Liberty, Fraternity, and Equality notions he partly received from his time spent abroad in New York and London.
