About
Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (14 April 1891 – 6 December 1956), popularly known as
Babasaheb, was an Indian jurist, economist, politician and social reformer who
inspired the Dalit Buddhist movement and campaigned against social
discrimination towards Untouchables (Dalits), while also supporting the rights of
women and labour.
He was Independent India's first law minister, the principal architect of the
Constitution of India and a founding father of the Republic of India.

Upon India's independence on 15 August 1947, the new Congress-led
government invited Ambedkar to serve as the nation's first Law Minister, which he
accepted. On 29 August, he was appointed Chairman of the Constitution Drafting
Committee, and was appointed by the Assembly to write India's new Constitution.

Opposition to Article 370
Ambedkar opposed Article 370 of the Constitution of India, which granted a
special status to the State of Jammu and Kashmir, and which was included
against his wishes. Balraj Madhok reportedly said, Ambedkar had clearly told the
Kashmiri leader, Sheikh Abdullah: "You wish India should protect your borders,
she should build roads in your area, she should supply you food grains, and
Kashmir should get equal status as India. But Government of India should have
only limited powers and Indian people should have no rights in Kashmir.

Support to Uniform Civil Code
During the debates in the Constituent Assembly, Ambedkar demonstrated his will
to reform Indian society by recommending the adoption of a Uniform Civil
Code.Ambedkar resigned from the cabinet in 1951, when parliament stalled his
draft of the Hindu Code Bill, which sought to enshrine gender equality in the laws
of inheritance and marriage. Ambedkar independently contested an election in
1952 to the lower house of parliament, the Lok Sabha, but was defeated in the
Bombay (North Central) constituency by a little-known Narayan Sadoba Kajrolkar,
who polled 138,137 votes compared to Ambedkar's 123,576.He was appointed to
the upper house, of parliament, the Rajya Sabha in March 1952 and would remain
as member till death

Death
Since 1948, Ambedkar suffered from diabetes. He was bed-ridden from June to
October in 1954 due to medication side-effects and poor eyesight. He had been
increasingly embittered by political issues, which took a toll on his health. His
health worsened during 1955.
Three days after completing his final manuscript The Buddha and His Dhamma,
Ambedkar died in his sleep on 6 December 1956 at his home in Delhi. A Buddhist
cremation was organised at Dadar Chowpatty beach on 7 December, attended by
half a million grieving people.
A conversion program was organised on 16 December 1956, so that cremation
attendees were also converted to Buddhism at the same place.
