Mumbai: Remembering Dr. B.R. Ambedkar on Mahaparinirvan Diwas
On December 6, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar came together at Shivaji Park to honor Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, a key figure in Indian history. This day, known as Mahaparinirvan Diwas, marks the anniversary of Dr. Ambedkar’s passing.

Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, born on April 14, 1891, was a great lawyer, economic thinker, politician, and social reformer. He fought hard for the rights of Dalits (the lower castes) and worked for equality, women’s rights, and workers’ rights. He dedicated his life to ending caste discrimination and believed in fairness for everyone.

The term “Mahaparinirvan” means “nirvana after death,” and this day is very important for Buddhists, as it symbolizes liberation from the continuous cycle of life and death. Dr. Ambedkar played a significant role in drafting the Indian Constitution and was awarded the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest honor, in 1990.

Dr. Ambedkar left us on December 6, 1956, in Delhi, but his incredible legacy continues to inspire many today.
