Thenmozhi Soundararajan Instagram – Happy Ambedkar Jayanti! Today marks the 132nd anniversary of Babasaheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s birth. A Dalit polymath, author of the Indian constitution, and social reformer, Ambedkar is beloved to this day because of his passionate advocacy for all caste-oppressed peoples. His call to “educate, agitate, and organize” continues to motivate and inspire the contemporary struggle for Dalit human rights.
Babasaheb led an inspirational life in service to other Dalits, Bahujans, and Adivasi folks in his community. For instance, in a bold act of community protest and self-respect, Ambedkar converted to Buddhism along with 400,000 of his followers. He was a champion of equality, education, intellectual curiosity, and feminism. We hope you will take the opportunity on this Ambedkar Jayanti to reflect on how each of us can heal from caste by working together to eradicate it!
Take action and support our Dalit community members this Ambedkar Jayanti by becoming 1 of the 50 monthly donors we are seeking this month – link in bio. Every investment goes towards our caste equity organizing work. Jai Bhim!
