December 6 marks Mahaparinirvan Diwas commemorating the death of the late Dr BR Ambedkar in 1956, the chief architect of India’s constitution and towering symbol of inspiration for marginalised communities.
Ambedkar, born on April 14, 1891, remains one of India’s seminal nation-builders, earning doctorates from esteemed global universities while leading India’s freedom movement alongside M.K Gandhi with his emphasis on annihilating caste oppression and securing dignity for untouchables.
His mass satyagraha movement to access public water tanks signified rousing Dalits against exclusion while the pivotal Poona Pact with Hindu leaders increased reserved legislature seats to uplift representation.
As independent India's first law minister, Ambedkar chaired the drafting committee conceptualizing its progressive, rights-based constitution aiming to foster new foundations upholding equality.
He was posthumously conferred the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian honour in 1990 underscoring his imprint on the republic’s democratic conscience and for spearheading emancipation of marginalized sections.
Mahaparinirvan Diwas serves both as a solemn remembrance of Ambedkar’s lasting legacy alongside provides an opportunity to reflect on pursuing unfulfilled aspects of his vision around caste annihilation, socioeconomic justice and equality to fructify India’s constitutional ideals.
On this day, followers across India gather at memorials in Mumbai, Delhi and locations nationally to offer tributes while reaffirming their commitment to Dr Ambedkar’s humanistic philosophy centring on reason, liberty and fraternity.
By commemorating modern India’s central founding father each year on December 6, people signal collective intent to realize the transformation he tirelessly strove for - building an egalitarian, enlightened society.
