Cover Story: 125 Years of BR Ambedkar

BR Ambedkar: Slayer of All Gods

He challenges the illusions about power and democracy, wealth and violence, Hinduism and tradition, nationalism and justice, and about all that metaphysical cant. He is the mirror in which we dare not look at ourselves. His presence is a constant reminder of our bad conscience and bad faith

Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar in 1946 (MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE/GETTY IMAGES)
