Abstract

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, a key social reformer and the chief architect of the Indian Constitution, is widely recognized as a pivotal figure in shaping the Dalit identity in India. His steadfast commitment to social justice, equality, and the emancipation of marginalized communities, particularly Dalits, has left a profound impact on Indian society. This paper delves into Dr. Ambedkar’s contributions to the development of Dalit identity, examining his critiques of caste-based discrimination, advocacy for education, establishment of political rights, and his call for religious conversion. It further explores how Ambedkar’s ideas continue to resonate in modern Dalit movements and influence the socio-political fabric of India today.
