Ambedkar Jayanti or Bhim Jayanti is celebrated every year on 14 April to commemorate the birth anniversary of Dr B.R Ambedkar. The day is observed to pay tribute to Ambedkar’s invaluable contribution to the Indian legal system and Constitution. The day is also celebrated as ‘Ambedkar Equality Day’ in British Columbia, Canada.
One of the most prominent social reformers of India, Ambedkar is known for his fight against the social evil of untouchability and the inequalities posed by the caste system of India. Born into a Dalit family, Ambedkar grew up watching his community being exploited and discriminated, leading him to embark on a lifelong crusade for equality.
