Dr B R Ambedkar(14th April 1891 to 6th December1956)

                                                                                                                                                                                                            ' Bharat Ratna'  Dr B R Ambedkar was also known as Babasaheb. He was born on 14th April 1891 in poor ' Dalit Mahar family'. He was Champion of 'Dalit Community'. Besides he was also supporter  of Women and Labor Class. He said that' I measure the progress of  Community by the degree of progress which women have achieved.' However he became the Messiah of Dalits when he fought out their case and gave them due right in Hindu Society. He introduced reservation in the Constitution of India i.e. For Schedule Cast and Schedule Tribes.
                                                                                              In the context of above we must go in the historical records of the freedom struggle. In the year 1932 British Government wanted to create separate electorate for Depressed Class( i.e. Dalit Class). It was another strategy of Britishers to further divide India. Mahatma Gandhi protested against the same by going on fast in the Yaroda Jail at Poona.  In the September 1932 Poona Pact was signed  by Dr Ambedkar wherein  Reserve Seats were provided in legislatures for Schedule Cast and Schedule Tribes within general electorate. The same pattern was adopted in the constitution of India in the year 1950. Incidentally Dr B R Ambedkar was the main Architect of our Constitution.
                                       Dr Ambedkar also suffered as a Dalit student at the hands of conservative Hindus. He was not allowed to touch the drinking water vessel in the school as he was untouchable. He use to get water only through peon. He wrote ' No Poen No Water'. He has to also under go discrimination as a professor at one of the colleges in Mumbai(i.e. As he was from Depressed Class.)
                                       He was disgusted with class discrimination system in Hinduism and started doing research in other religions where such system does not exist. He even studied Sikhism but finally decided to convert himself along with his Dalit followers to Buddhism. He and his 500000 follower joined Buddhism in the October 1956.
                                         Babasaheb was Jurist, Reformist, Politician and Educationalist. In spite of that he became the victim of discriminatory system of Hindu Religion.  Dadasaheb  efforts  brought new life for crores of Depressed Class People.
                                         However Dr B R Ambedkar never wanted this Reservation System for ever but it has become convenient instruments for cultivating votes in the Indian election system.
