Dr. Ambedkar (1891-1956) was the champion of human rights and emancipator of the untouchables. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar popularly known as ‘Babasaheb’ was born on 14th April 1891. He spent his whole life fighting against discrimination, the system of chaturvarna and the Hindu caste system. He belonged to the Mahar caste, who were treated as untouchables and subjected to intense socio-economic discrimination. His mission in life was to establish a new social order based on justice, liberty and equality. He was not just a thinker but put his thoughts in action.  
POLITICAL THOUGHTS OF AMBEDKAR 
Being a scholar-activist, keeping a vigilant eye on the happenings of his times and responding to them at both theoretical as well as practical plains, it was obvious for Ambedkar to have written and commented on a wide range of issues pertaining to the political scenario of the country. The political thought of Ambedkar, therefore, does not come as a body of organised and systematic theorisation. On the contrary, the political thought of Ambedkar consists of the views expressed by him in the form of numerous statements, speeches, books and monographs coming in the wake of a particular issue being raised at the specific point of time.
