B.R. Ambedkar
Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was born in 1891 into an "Untouchable" family, facing discrimination from an early age.
Despite this, he became one of India's most influential thinkers and reformers.
Ambedkar played a crucial role in drafting the Indian Constitution and served as the country's first Law Minister.
He was a prolific writer and a fierce critic of the caste system and Hindu practices.
Ambedkar's radical ideas and tireless efforts to uplift the oppressed classes transformed India's social and political landscape.
In 1956, a few months before his death, he converted to Buddhism, fulfilling his declaration to not die a Hindu.
