The Prime Minister said that Dr. Ambedkar’s tireless fight for equality and human dignity continues to inspire generations.
“On Mahaparinirvan Diwas, we bow to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, the architect of our Constitution and a beacon of social justice. Dr. Ambedkar’s tireless fight for equality and human dignity continues to inspire generations. Today, as we remember his contributions, we also reiterate our commitment to fulfilling his vision. Also sharing a picture from my visit to Chaitya Bhoomi in Mumbai earlier this year. Jai Bhim!” PM Modi posted on X.
Mahaparinirvan Diwas, observed annually on December 6, marks the death anniversary of Bharat Ratna Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, affectionately known as Babasaheb Ambedkar, the principal architect of the Indian Constitution.
Born on April 14, 1891, Ambedkar was a distinguished jurist, economist, politician, and social reformer. He tirelessly fought against caste-based discrimination, advocated for the rights of Dalits, women, and workers, and worked to establish equality in society. Mahaparinirvan Diwas serves as a solemn tribute to his groundbreaking contributions and enduring legacy.
The term “Mahaparinirvan” has its roots in Buddhist scriptures, referring to the ultimate nirvana attained after death. It signifies liberation from the cycles of birth, death, and karma and holds great importance in the Buddhist tradition.
Dr. Ambedkar was also a pivotal member of the seven-member committee that drafted the Indian Constitution post-independence. His contributions were posthumously recognized in 1990 when he was awarded the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian honor.
Babasaheb Ambedkar passed away on December 6, 1956, at his residence in New Delhi, leaving behind an indelible legacy that continues to inspire generations.
