To celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Doctor B. R. Ambedkar, one of the great Buddhist leaders of modern times and the radical father of the Indian Constitution, a personal tribute from Sanghanath at the Karuna Trust about his enduring legacy as a champion of social justice for all humans. 

Doctor Ambedkar's relevance in India to the fight against caste prejudice is stronger than ever, especially amongst the former so-called "untouchable" Dalit peoples now converted to Buddhism to escape systemic discrimination and pursue a path of freedom.
