| Summary, etc. | The book In Pursuit of Ambedkar: A Memoir by Bhagwan Das chronicles his life, emphasizing his deep association with Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and his lifelong commitment to Dalit rights and activism. Bhagwan Das narrates his personal journey, starting from a pivotal moment in 1943, when he waited seven hours to meet Ambedkar, an encounter that profoundly influenced his future path. His memoir reflects his work alongside Ambedkar, his role as a research assistant, and his later activism, including his testimony on untouchability at the United Nations.<br/><br/>This book is a blend of autobiography and reflections on Dalit history, providing an insider's perspective on Ambedkar’s ideals and the social struggles faced by the Dalit community. It's a significant contribution to understanding the Dalit movement in India and the influence Ambedkar had on individuals and society.<br/><br/> |
