Author :
Abstract
Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Indian Constitution, played an instrumental role in shaping the educational landscape of India, particularly for Dalits (historically referred to as "untouchables"). His relentless efforts to promote education for Dalits were central to his broader vision of social equality and justice. Ambedkar believed that education was the key to breaking the shackles of caste-based discrimination and was crucial for empowering marginalized communities. This paper explores Dr. Ambedkar's role in shaping Dalit education, highlighting his advocacy for access to quality education, his contributions to legislative reforms, and his lasting legacy in promoting educational opportunities for Dalits. Through an examination of his life, advocacy, and impact, the paper presents a comprehensive understanding of how Ambedkar’s efforts continue to influence Dalit education in India.
