Okay so likeโฆ Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was literally built different when it came to education. Bro wasnโt 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 chillinโ โ 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 thatโs where he really went beast mode. While at the London School of Economics (LSE), he started working on his D.Sc. in Economics โ and yeah, he got it, making him the first South Asian to do so.
But wait, thereโs more ๐ค โ he also studied law at Grayโs 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. Likeโฆ man couldโve picked any one of those lanes and been legendary, but he just said โwhy not all of them?โ
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.
