On the 7th of February, Nitin Gadkari extends humble greetings to Tyagmurti “Ramabai Ambedkar” on his birth anniversary.
Ramabai Ambedkar, born in 1898, was an Indian social reformer and an important figure in the fight for the rights of Dalits, also known as the “Untouchables.” She was the wife of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, who is widely known as the father of the Indian Constitution and a leading figure in the Indian independence movement.
Ramabai dedicated her life to the betterment of the lives of Dalit women and worked tirelessly to bring attention to their plight. She founded the first school for Dalit girls and was a fierce advocate for their education. In this article, we will take a closer look at the life and legacy of Ramabai Ambedkar.
Ramabai was born in a Dalit family in the state of Maharashtra, India. Despite the widespread discrimination against Dalits at the time, her father was a well-educated man who believed in the importance of education for his children. As a result, Ramabai received a good education and became fluent in English, which would later serve her well in her advocacy work.
