Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891-1956) was one of the most influential thinkers and social reformers in modern Indian history. He was the principal architect of India's Constitution, and was born into a poor family yet went on to earn master's degrees from Columbia University and a doctorate from the London School of Economics. After India's independence in 1947, Ambedkar became the nation's first Law Minister and chaired the Constitution Drafting Committee. Under his leadership, the committee spent two years and eleven months crafting this groundbreaking document. In honor of his outstanding contributions to education, the Indian government declared his birthday, April 14th, as "National Knowledge Day".
比姆拉奥·安贝德卡尔博士（1891-1956）是印度现代史上最具影响力的思想家和社会改革家之一。作为印度宪法的主要起草者，他出身贫寒且童年饱受种姓歧视，却以惊人毅力先后获得哥伦比亚大学硕士和伦敦政治经济学院博士学位。1947年印度独立后，安贝德卡尔出任首任法律部长，并担任宪法起草委员会主席。在他的领导下，委员会耗时两年零十一个月，完成了这部融合民主价值观与印度特色的宪法。为纪念他对教育的卓越贡献，印度政府将其诞辰4月14日定为"国家知识日"。
Beyond his constitutional work, Ambedkar dedicated his life to social reform movements. He openly criticized the Hindu caste system and in 1956 led a mass conversion to Buddhism, sparking a Buddhist revival in India. In recognition of his contributions, the Indian government declared his birthday "Ambedkar Jayanti," and his portrait graces Indian rupee banknotes, cementing his legacy as one of the principal architects of modern India.
除了宪法工作，安贝德卡尔毕生致力于社会改革运动。他公开批评印度教种姓制度，1956年带领数十万追随者改信佛教，发起印度佛教复兴运动。为纪念他的贡献，印度政府将其诞辰定为"安贝德卡尔纪念日"，他的肖像也被印在印度卢比纸币上，被誉为"现代印度的重要缔造者"。
