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.

Ambedkar was not only a freedom fighter or some ancient politician with a long name in textbooks. He was a straight-up revolution wrapped in human form. Born into a system that literally informed him he didn’t belong, he turned the tables with sheer intellect—like, not only “worked hard” but “flexed so hard he received several doctorates” type.
But it wasn’t degrees alone. He didn’t drive up to Oxford and Columbia just to groove. He learned about how societies function so he could dismantle what was broken in India—such as caste, inequality, and artificial social order. And then this guy returns, writes the Indian Constitution (essentially the user guide of the nation), and incorporates elements such as Article 32 so people could finally question injustice. That’s crazy.
And the best part is, he didn’t leave politics alone. He learned about power in every way—religion, law, money, knowledge. So when he became a Buddhist, it wasn’t a spiritual choice—it was a mic drop moment of declaring, “I don’t need your permission to be free.”

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:
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.”
Diplomas in French and Sanskrit (just ‘cause he could 😮💨)
Studied political science, sociology, anthropology, history, and law
Lowkey a polyglot, highkey a walking encyclopedia
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
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. 📚🔥

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was born Bhimrao Ramji Sakpal. That was the name his family bore—they were of the Mahar caste, who were “untouchables” during that time. Now here’s where it turns around:
When Bhimrao was at school in Satara, a Brahmin teacher named Krishna Keshav Ambedkar befriended him. But as caste society was doing the most, Bhimrao’s own earliest surname, Sakpal, branded him instantly as “lower caste.” So this teacher, perhaps attempting to ‘assist’ or perhaps merely desiring to distance Bhimrao from the baggage of caste, enrolled him for school using his own surname, “Ambedkar.”.
And that’s the name that accompanied Bhimrao into history. Consider this: an entire legacy tied to a name he did not even choose for himself. But what is poetic is how Bhimrao reversed that name and rewrote the narrative. He transformed Ambedkar into a badge of resistance, of intellect, of equality, of liberation.

While exact figures are not readily available, it is widely recognized that Maharashtra has the highest number of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar statues in India. This is largely due to Ambedkar’s significant influence and legacy in the state. Notably, Mumbai is set to host the ‘Statue of Equality,’ a 137.3-meter tall monument dedicated to Ambedkar, expected to be completed by May 2026.
Other states also feature prominent statues honoring Ambedkar. In Hyderabad, Telangana, a 125-foot tall bronze statue was unveiled in April 2023, making it the tallest Ambedkar statue in India at the time. Additionally, Andhra Pradesh is home to the ‘Statue of Social Justice,’ a 206-foot tall statue located in Amaravati.
These monuments reflect Ambedkar’s enduring legacy and the widespread respect he commands across the nation.
