1. Introduction: A Day to Remember the Architect of Equality

Every year on 14th April, India pauses to honor a giant among reformers—Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Known as the father of the Indian Constitution, a fierce advocate for social justice, and a voice for the marginalized, Ambedkar Jayanti is more than just a day on the calendar. It is a call to reflect, educate, and act.

2. Why Ambedkar Jayanti Matters More Than Ever

In a world still grappling with inequality, Ambedkar’s vision rings louder today. His ideas of liberty, equality, fraternity, and justice form the backbone of India’s democracy. As caste-based discrimination, economic disparity, and social exclusion persist in various forms, Ambedkar Jayanti becomes a timely reminder of the unfinished work ahead.
