Baba Ambedkar was born on April 14, 1891, in Mhow, which is in Madhya Pradesh. Dude was a total legend, no cap. Changed the entire vibe of Indian society.

Okay so like… Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was literally built different when it came to education. Bro wasn’t just book-smart, he was elite-tier scholar mode.
He started off in India, but then got a scholarship to go all the way to the U.S. to study at Columbia University, where he got his M.A. in Economics in 1915. And not just chillin’ — he went full throttle and got a Ph.D. in Economics from Columbia by 1927 (he actually finished most of it earlier but submitted later).
Then he hit up London, and that’s where he really went beast mode. While at the London School of Economics (LSE), he started working on his D.Sc. in Economics — and yeah, he got it, making him the first South Asian to do so.
But wait, there’s more 😤 — he also studied law at Gray’s Inn, one of the four Inns of Court in England, and became a barrister. That means he was literally a lawyer, an economist, a political theorist, and a whole constitutional boss. Like… man could’ve picked any one of those lanes and been legendary, but he just said “why not all of them?”
His specializations? Economics, Law, Political Science, Sociology, and Philosophy. Literally mastered everything he needed to take on the British Empire and the caste system. King moves only.

Yeah, for sure. They linked up in 1931 and it was NOT a chill hangout. Ambedkar came in ready to talk justice and rights for Dalits, and Gandhi kinda brushed him off like “I got this.” Then in 1932, things got messy—Ambedkar wanted separate votes for Dalits so they could actually have a voice, but Gandhi was like “nah fam, that’s gonna split us” and started a dramatic fast. Whole country panicked. Pressure was real. Ambedkar had to compromise, but he def wasn’t vibin’ with it.
Did Gandhi hate him tho?
Not “hate” hate, but they had major beef. Gandhi was like “fix caste from inside,” Ambedkar was like “nah bro, torch the whole system.” Gandhi saw caste as a problem to smooth over, Ambedkar saw it as a straight-up injustice that needed wrecking. Gandhi was the face of the freedom struggle, but Ambedkar was out here fighting for actual equality, not just Independence™️.

The first biography of Dr. Ambedkar, Ambedkar: A Life, was written by Shashi Tharoor. He dropped this gem in 2022, and it’s been a hit for its deep yet readable dive into Babasaheb’s incredible life and legacy.
Other than Tharoor’s book, Aakash Singh Rathore’s Becoming Babasaheb is another one that’s super popular. It’s a two-part series, giving a fresh take on Ambedkar’s journey. There’s also Bhimayana, a graphic novel that uses unique art to tell his story, making his life more accessible to a wider audience.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was literally the blueprint for modern India. My guy pulled up with degrees from Columbia and LSE, then went on to draft the freakin’ Constitution. Not just that — he fought for Dalit rights, women’s rights, and just human rights in general before it was even a trend. Basically, if India’s democracy had a vibe check, Ambedkar passed it with flying colors.
See lessDr. Ambedkar was basically the OG multitasker — he had degrees from Columbia (M.A., Ph.D. in Econ), studied at the London School of Economics (D.Sc.), and also trained as a lawyer at Gray’s Inn in the UK. Man really said, “Why stop at one when you can have all?” 🔥📖

Straight up, Ambedkar and Gandhi were on totally different wavelengths, even if they both wanted a better India.
Politics? Gandhi wanted moral transformation through peaceful resistance. Ambedkar wanted legal and institutional safeguards — like actual power for the powerless.
Economics? Gandhi was anti-industrial, into villages. Ambedkar said that’s not gonna cut it for the poor — he backed modern industry and state intervention.
Social reform? Gandhi saw untouchability as evil, but still supported caste in theory. Ambedkar said caste is poison, period. He fought to end it — full stop.
Their impact? Gandhi moved hearts. Ambedkar moved systems. Both mattered, but if you’re talking about long-term foundations — Ambedkar built the house.

For real, Ambedkar spoke from the soul. Dude lived through the roughest kind of injustice and still believed in building something better for everyone. Some of his lines really hit:
“We are Indians, firstly and lastly.”
“Cultivation of mind should be the ultimate aim of human existence.”
“Democracy is not a form of government, but a form of social organization.”
Man had vision. Not just for laws and politics, but for how we treat each other as people.

Yo, Dr. Ambedkar wasn’t just smart — man was built different academically. Dude legit racked up 32 degrees, diplomas, and honorary titles in his lifetime. That’s not a typo. Thirty-two. Let’s run it down:
🧠 Degrees He Actually Studied For (Real Ones, Not Just Honorary Stuff):
B.A. in Economics & Political Science – Bombay University (1912)
↳ Started from India, OG Elphinstone College grind.
M.A. in Economics – Columbia University (1915)
↳ Man landed in New York and straight up flexed on macroeconomics.
Ph.D. in Economics – Columbia again (1927)
↳ Dissertation was 🔥: “The Evolution of Provincial Finance in British India.”
M.Sc. in Economics – London School of Econ (LSE, 1921-ish)
↳ This was halfway to his D.Sc. Basically a pitstop.
D.Sc. in Economics – LSE (1923)
↳ Yeah, TWO doctorates. This one was on currency issues: “The Problem of the Rupee.” Still relevant tbh.
Barrister-at-Law – Gray’s Inn, London (1922)
↳ Dude was a lawyer too. Said “lemme learn the law so I can rewrite it.”
LL.D. (Doctor of Laws) – Columbia University again (Honorary, 1952)
↳ Columbia was like “Bro, take this too. You earned it.”
📘 Other Stuff He Studied or Got Certified In:
Diplomas in French and Sanskrit (just ‘cause he could 😮💨)
Studied political science, sociology, anthropology, history, and law
Lowkey a polyglot, highkey a walking encyclopedia
🏅 Honorary Doctorates & Global Props:
Over 25 honorary degrees from Indian and foreign universities
Places like Osmania, Baroda, Columbia, and others were basically like “We respect the grind.”
Recognized for his work in economics, law, social reform, and human rights
💯 TL;DR
Dude didn’t just pass exams — he redefined what academic flex means. While he personally earned about 7 to 10 of those degrees the hard way, the total count of all qualifications, diplomas, and honorary degrees hits 32.
Ambedkar didn’t just go to school — he made school go to him. 📚🔥
