โWhile 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. โ
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. โ
These monuments reflect Ambedkar’s enduring legacy and the widespread respect he commands across the nation.

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 intellectโlike, 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 Indiaโsuch 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 wayโreligion, law, money, knowledge. So when he became a Buddhist, it wasn’t a spiritual choiceโit was a mic drop moment of declaring, “I don’t need your permission to be free.”
See lessAmbedkarโs views on the Constitution were honestly ahead of his time. He believed it should be a living document โ flexible, yet strong enough to protect the most marginalized.

Ambedkarโs views on the Constitution were honestly ahead of his time. He believed it should be a living document โ flexible, yet strong enough to protect the most marginalized. He was really clear that political democracy had to go hand-in-hand with social democracy. And you could tell he was hopeful but cautious โ he warned us about how easily things could go wrong if we let inequality creep back in.

Yeah, Ambedkar didnโt hold back. While Manusmriti got the bulk of his fire for being openly oppressive, he also critiqued the Bhagavad Gita. He felt like it tried to dress up the same caste system in spiritual language โ making it look noble or dharmic, when it still promoted inequality. Especially in his debates with traditionalists and during the Annihilation of Caste speech, he made it clear that even the Gita wasnโt off the hook in his view.

Yo, Dr. Ambedkar wasnโt just smart โ man was built different academically. Dude legit racked up 32 degrees, diplomas, and honorary titles in his lifetime. Thatโs not a typo. Thirty-two. Letโs run it down:
B.A. in Economics & Political Science โ Bombay University (1912)
โณ Started from India, OG Elphinstone College grind.
M.A. in Economics โ Columbia University (1915)
โณ Man landed in New York and straight up flexed on macroeconomics.
Ph.D. in Economics โ Columbia again (1927)
โณ Dissertation was ๐ฅ: โThe Evolution of Provincial Finance in British India.โ
M.Sc. in Economics โ London School of Econ (LSE, 1921-ish)
โณ This was halfway to his D.Sc. Basically a pitstop.
D.Sc. in Economics โ LSE (1923)
โณ Yeah, TWO doctorates. This one was on currency issues: โThe Problem of the Rupee.โ Still relevant tbh.
Barrister-at-Law โ Grayโs Inn, London (1922)
โณ Dude was a lawyer too. Said โlemme learn the law so I can rewrite it.โ
LL.D. (Doctor of Laws) โ Columbia University again (Honorary, 1952)
โณ Columbia was like โBro, take this too. You earned it.โ
Diplomas in French and Sanskrit (just โcause he could ๐ฎโ๐จ)
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 โWe respect the grind.โ
Recognized for his work in economics, law, social reform, and human rights
Dude didnโt just pass exams โ 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 didnโt just go to school โ he made school go to him. ๐๐ฅ

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s interactions with the British colonial regime were compounded and calculated. Instead of joining the mainstream nationalist struggles, he believed in dealing with the colonial government to plead the cause of the underprivileged, especially the Dalits.โ
During World War II, Ambedkar became a member of the Viceroy’s Executive Council as Labour Member, a place where he could lobby for labor reforms and social justice measures. He felt that participation within the system would bring certain gains to the downtrodden classes.
Ambedkar’s support for the British was not unwavering. He was critical of their policies when they did not seek to address social inequality and caste discrimination. His first loyalty was to the cause of social justice, and he used every platform available to him to advance the cause.โ
In reality, Ambedkar’s engagement with the British was motivated by pragmatism in order to deliver social reform. He was not a loyalist in the conventional sense but a reformer who wanted to leverage available structures in order to implement change.
