Born in Mhow, Madhya Pradesh to a Brahman family and part of the Bhandari caste, he was the son of a subedar (an army rank) in the Indian Army and son of Bhimabai Murbadkar who died when he was two years old.

His father wanted him to be a soldier, but he was not interested in army life.

• His father wanted him to be a soldier, but he was not interested in army life.
• He wanted to become a lawyer and study law.
• He also wanted to become a teacher or professor of history at one point in his life, but that dream did not work out because there was no money available for education at that time.
• Later on Ambedkar became interested in social reformers like Gandhiji and Tilak, who were working for justice among different sections of society including untouchables (Harijans).
• Ambedkar also studied economics but did not find it very useful because India had no industrial revolution during those days unlike other countries like Britain where industrial revolution started much earlier than India due mainly due lack of proper infrastructure such as railroads etc., which were needed for setting up industries back then so only few people owned land whereas most people worked as farm laborers; hence no one could get enough food from these farms since all land belonged only landlords who owned large tracts where they could grow crops using modern farming techniques introduced by British imperialism during colonial period after independence movement started with Gandhi leading it first against British rule before independence finally happened after World War Two ended when Indians won their freedom fight against colonial powers after many years long struggle between them both sides making each other stronger till date today there are still some problems faced by both communities living together peacefully inside country called Republic Of India

His family treated him unhappy manner as he belonged to an untouchable community.

The untouchable community was treated as the lowest caste in India and Ambedkar’s family was not allowed to touch water from the same pot that other castes drank from. He had to wear a badge marked ‘nala’ written on it in order to be identified as an untouchable.

In 1908, he had to wear a badge marked ‘nala’ written on it in order to be identified as an untouchable and made to sit at the back of class.

You might be asking yourself: how did Dr Ambedkar become an economist?

Well, the answer is simple. He studied economics at Columbia University in New York and Harvard. But he was not allowed to do so as he was an untouchable during his studies! In 1908, he had to wear a badge marked ‘nala’ written on it in order to be identified as an untouchable and made to sit at the back of class.

He was discriminated by his teachers, classmates and even his own family. They were not allowed to touch the water from the same pot that the other castes drank from.

Dr. B R Ambedkar was a great man who worked for the upliftment of the lower classes in India. He was discriminated by his teachers, classmates and even his own family. They were not allowed to touch the water from the same pot that other castes drank from. This is how Dr Ambedkar came up with this idea of “caste” system which was against Indian culture and tradition at that time.

He also wanted equal rights for all people irrespective of their caste or religion but unfortunately it did not happen due to political reasons instead they continued discriminating each other based on birth factor like race etc.,

But he got more education than any other person in his community before him, although it took years and at times it was very hard for him because of caste-based discrimination.

But he got more education than any other person in his community before him, although it took years and at times it was very hard for him because of caste-based discrimination. He first went to school at the age of seven, but was turned away by the headmaster when he arrived because there were no seats available. He then returned home where his parents could not afford to send him back to school again.

But later on when he became a lawyer and began working on behalf of Dalits (untouchables) they started taking him as their representative so that they could get justice from courts which otherwise wouldn’t help them because they were not considered part of society even though they had been born into this world just like everyone else who lived on earth did too!

He became a Buddhist in a mass conversion ceremony organised by Ambedkar himself and his followers. Along with this ceremony other ceremonies like marriage and death were also performed there.

Ambedkar was a Buddhist and he became the first leader of the Dalit community. He was inspired by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and it is because of him that he converted himself to Buddhism.

Ambedkar organized mass conversion ceremonies for his followers in which marriages and funerals were also performed.

Conclusion

He was a great man. He showed other people that you can become what you want in life. He changed the world for better for millions of people and I think that we should all be grateful to him because without him there would be no India today.
