THE year 2016 not only marks Dr BR Ambedkar's 60th death anniversary and 125th birth anniversary but also a centenary since he graduated from the Columbia University in New York (1913-1916). This Friday, to commemorate the occasion, Godrej India Culture Lab has organised a panel discussion in collaboration with The Columbia Global Centres, Mumbai. Titled New York And Mumbai In The Times Of Dr Ambedkar, the discussion explores the educational and intellectual spaces, forms of cultural expression, labour movements, and discourses of identity and inequality that were part of the urban milieu in his time.
