Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891--1956) rose from a community of
"untouchables," to become a major figure in modern Indian history.
Christophe Jaffrelot's biography reconsiders Dr. Ambedkar's life
and thought and his unique combination of pragmatism and idealism.
Establishing himself as a scholar, activist, journalist, and
educator, Ambedkar ultimately found himself immersed in Indian
politics and helped to draft the nation's constitution as law
minister in Nehru's first cabinet. Ambedkar's ideas remain an
inspiration to India's Dalit community.
