About The Book

Born into a middle-class Sarasvat Brahmin family Dr Sharada Kabir met and got to know Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar as a patient riddled with life-threatening diseases and eventually married him on 15 April 1948 getting rechristened as Savita Ambedkar. From the day of their wedding to the death of Dr Ambedkar on 6 December 1956 she aided him in some of his greatest achievements-drafting the Constitution of India framing the Hindu Code Bill writing some of his most celebrated books including The Buddha and His Dhamma and leading millions of Dalits into Buddhism. Following his death she was hounded into obscurity by some of Dr Ambedkar's followers who saw her as a threat to their political ambitions. She re-emerged into public life in 1970 and got back to working on the mission to which her husband had devoted his life-the welfare of the Dalit community. Her autobiography Dr Ambedkaraanchya Sahavaasaat was first published in Marathi in 1990. This English translation by Nadeem Khan unearths a much valuable and forgotten account an intimate portrait of one of the greatest figures of the twentieth century. A tenacious fighter an outstanding scholar and an iconic leader Dr B.R. Ambedkar was all that and more. Savita Ambedkar brings alive a different side of her husband a man who wrote romantic letters dictated what she should wear whipped up delicious mutton curry played the violin and even tried his hand at sculpting. This is a book that humanizes Ambedkar as no other book has done yet.
