Some Lesser Known Facts About B. R. Ambedkar

• It is not known whether B. R. Ambedkar smoked or not.

• It is not known whether B. R. Ambedkar consumed alcohol.

• Born in 1891, he was the youngest of fourteen children in a Marathi family. His family hailed from Ambadawe town in Mandangad Taluka, located in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra, India.

• In 1894, his father retired from the British Indian Army. Two years later, he relocated with his family to Satara, a city in Maharashtra. Unfortunately, after a period of settling in Maharashtra, B. R. Ambedkar experienced the loss of his mother.

• B. R. Ambedkar’s actual surname was Sakpal; however, his father decided to register his surname as Ambadawekar when enrolling him in school, after their native village named ‘Ambadawe’.

• Born into a community that society deemed as low-caste, he endured countless humiliations during his school years at the hands of teachers and classmates who were regarded as upper-caste. Reflecting on his experiences, he chronicled the hardships in his book, aptly named “No peon, No water.”

• During his school years, he held a special place in the heart of his teacher Mahadev Ambedkar, a Brahmin. Eventually, the teacher decided to alter his last name from ‘Ambadawekar’ to ‘Ambedkar.’

• In 1897, his family moved to Mumbai where he enrolled in Elphinstone High School, becoming the only student from an untouchable background. At the age of 15, in 1906, he entered into marriage with Ramabai, who was just 9 years old at the time. The college in Mumbai, previously known as Elphinstone College, was later renamed in honor of B. R. Ambedkar.

• Despite getting married, he remained committed to his academic pursuits. He successfully finished his matriculation in 1907 and was subsequently accepted into Elphinstone College in Mumbai, becoming the first individual from the untouchable community to achieve this milestone. In his book, “The Buddha and his Dhamma,” he vividly detailed the desire of his fellow Dalit society members to commemorate this momentous occasion, as it symbolized a significant triumph for their community.

• He obtained his degree in Political Science and Economics from Bombay University in 1912 and secured a government position in the princely state of Baroda (now Gujarat). This job provided him with new opportunities, including a chance to pursue post-graduate studies at Columbia University in the United States. He received a Baroda State Scholarship from the Gaekwads of Baroda, which awarded him ₹1,060.25 (£11.50, sterling) per month for three years.

• At the young age of 22, he immigrated to the United States in 1913 to pursue his higher education. In 1915, he successfully obtained his MA degree, specializing in Economics, and submitted his thesis titled ‘Ancient Indian Commerce’.

• After returning to India, he was appointed as the Defence Secretary to the King of Baroda. However, he once again experienced social discrimination due to being considered an ‘Untouchable.’ In 1916, he submitted his second thesis titled “National Dividend of India – A Historical and Analytical Study” to earn another MA degree. Eventually, in 1927, he obtained his PhD in Economics.

• In October 1916, B.R. Ambedkar submitted an application for the Bar Course at Gay’s Inn in London. At the same time, he commenced his doctoral thesis at the London School of Economics. However, in June 1917, he had to return to India as his Baroda scholarship came to an end. In 1918, he became a Political Economy Professor at the Sydenham College of Commerce and Economics in Bombay, accompanied by his professors and friends from the London School of Economics and Political Science.

• After a span of four years, in 1921, he was granted the authorization to go back to London and deliver his thesis titled “The problem of the rupee: Its origin and its solution.” This marked the successful culmination of his master’s degree journey.

• He embarked on his D.Sc. in Economics in 1923 and concurrently received an invitation from Gray’s Inn for his Bar Course. Subsequently, he was bestowed with two honoris causa Doctorates: LL.D. from Columbia University in 1952 and D.Litt. from Osmania University in 1953. These notable accomplishments made him the trailblazer as the first Indian to pursue a Doctorate abroad.

• After being chosen to join the Bombay Presidency Committee, he collaborated with the All-European Simon Commission in 1925.
