Every year, 6th December is observed as Mahaparinirvan Diwas to remember Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the champion of Dalits and marginalized communities. On this day, we honor his tireless work for social justice. As we mark the death anniversary of Babasaheb, let’s take a look at the personal library of 88-year-old Ramesh Tukaram Shinde. Over the past 60 years, Shinde has collected rare works by Ambedkar, including his books, letters, documents, and old photographs. The library features first editions of Ambedkar’s writings on caste, religion, and national issues. Shinde’s collection is a valuable resource for those wanting to explore Ambedkar’s life and ideas in depth.

In the heart of India's history stands a man who reshaped the nation's soul. A champion of equality, justice, and the oppressed. We are talking about Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. Born in 1891 in a small village in Madhya Pradesh, Ambedkar rose from the harsh grip of caste discrimination to become one of India's greatest visionaries. An economist, a jurist, a social reformer, a political leader, an orator, an advanced thinker — he was a man of many hats, but above all, he was a fighter for justice. On every 6th of December, we celebrate his death anniversary, a day to honor and reflect on his immense contributions to India's social justice movement, his fight for Dalit rights, and his role in shaping modern India. The day is observed as Mahaparinirvan Divas every year to honor the memory of  Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. Thousands of people visit Chaitya Bhoomi in Mumbai, his final resting place, to pay their respects. As we celebrate B.R. Ambedkar's death anniversary, let us take a look at his contributions to the nation and what he did for Dalits.
