  • Bhim married nine-year-old Ramabai when he was 17. The marriage was held, in an open market shed in Byculla, Bombay.
  • Maharaja of Baroda, Sayaji Rao Gaikwad, granted a scholarship that enabled Ambedkar to attain the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the year 1912 as Bhim’s father was very poor to pay for his education.
  • After the death of his father, Ramji, the responsibility of the entire family rested on Bhim’s young shoulders. Once again, the Maharaja of Baroda, came to his aid sent Bhim to America for his higher studies in return for serving the State of Baroda for ten years.
  • He became a father figure to the poor and low-class people.  He got the name “Babasaheb” out of respect from these people.
  • He struggled to secure for the untouchables the right to use the public tanks and entry to the temples.
  • Ambedkar was also invited to represent the cause of the untouchables in Simon Commission’s Round Table Conference.
  • He was invited again for the second session of the Round Table Conference by the British Government and was on the Federal Structure Committee, and was entrusted with the task of drafting the future “Constitution of India” Mahatma Gandhi too participated in this meeting.
  • In November 1932, Dr. Ambedkar attended the third session of the Round Table Conference. In August 1936, he established his new political party with the name “Independent Labour Party”.
  • The elections took place on February 17, 1937. Ambedkar with many of his members won this election with the majority.  He abolished the “Khoti or Khot” system of land in the ‘Konkan’ region.
  • In April 1947 Babasaheb submitted to the Assembly a draft on “States and Minorities”. The Constituent Assembly, on  April 29, 1947, declared that Untouchability in all forms would be abolished in India.
  • The British Parliament passed the Act of Indian Independence on July 15, 1947, and immediately after that the first Cabinet Ministry of Free India was formed and Dr. Ambedkar was invited to join the Cabinet as the Law Minister, which he accepted.

  • The very next year, on January 12, 1953, the Osmania University of Hyderabad, conferred on him an Honorary Doctorate of Literature.
  • Age and ill health did not deter Ambedkar from working non-stop. When he realized that the Hindu System would never grant social equality to his people, he started looking for an alternate religion, which would make his dream come true; a religion where every man was treated as an equal.  He found his answer in Buddhism.
