Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar revolutionised the prevailing social structure based on man - made caste discrimination and transformed that into the one which would be based on equality, liberty, justice and fraternity. He provided a sound constitutional buttressing to the emerging society that would offer equal opportunity to all in education, employment and living in general. This was not foreseen by either the oppressors or by the victims of atrocious, discriminative social traditions which continued to be there. Dr. Ambedkar was the first one in the millennium who shattered that atrocious baseless caste system without any warfare but by striding the path of education.
