Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, popularly known as Babasaheb, was an Indian jurist and political leader who
led the Dalit movement and established a new school of Buddhism (Navayana) by adopting and reinterpreting the egalitarian values of the imagined Buddhism of the colonial Protestant-Victorian mind. He was the son of Ramji Sakpal who served in the British Indian
army. He is believed to be the principal architect of the Indian constitution. He is also known for propagating many ahistorical and untruthful views about the past and Indian religions that continue to influence contemporary
politics and religious identities in
India. Though he is widely recognised as an anti-
British nationalist, he collaborated with the Britishers on many issues.
