Description
Dr Savita Ambedkar's autobiography offers a unique perspective on the life of one of the 20th century's most influential figures. Born into a middle-class family, Savita met her husband, Dr B.R. Ambedkar, while he was a patient, and the two went on to share a life of remarkable achievements. From drafting the Indian Constitution to leading millions of people into Buddhism, Savita played a crucial role in her husband's work, and her own story is one of remarkable resilience and determination. After her husband's death, Savita was subjected to harassment and intimidation, but she continued to work tirelessly on his legacy, re-emerging in public life in the 1970s. Her English-language autobiography, first published in Marathi in 1990, provides a fascinating glimpse into the personal life of this towering figure, revealing a man of great passion and creativity, who wrote romantic letters, played the violin, and even tried his hand at sculpting. This English translation of Savita Ambedkar's autobiography is a valuable addition to our understanding of Dr B.R. Ambedkar's life, offering a fresh and intimate perspective on one of the 20th century's most important figures.
