As you flip through the pages, entire life of Dr.Ambedkar plays through your mind like a movie reel. 5 stars to author and illustrator.
The book thoroughly captures various emotions like pain, suffering and sometimes even the sense of helplessness faced Babasaheb. Especially on page 142, when Ambedkar puts his signature on the constitution, the words on those panels makes you think perhaps this is what would have gone through his mind while signing.
Being a graphic novel I thought it would have eliminated all the controversial bits like his disagreements with Gandhi, hindu code bill, poona pact etc but NO, it has all those incidents but ofcourse in brief.
After reading the entire book, made me realize that this man has spent his entire life fighting for the oppressed. Wish we had such sincere leaders today like Ambedkar and Pandit Nehru.
The book also capture Ambedkars flaws like his impatience and neglecting his health, neglecting his family etc.
Only regret is, I wish the team had been more explicit in naming the politicians who opposed Ambedkars modern views. It's somewhat easy to figure out from the illustration but naming them would certainly show things black and white to today's generation.
After completing the book, it made me realize if only Babasaheb hadn't met wonderful people who helped him along the way like Maharaja of Baroda, Keluskar, etc or if Gandhiji hadn't recommended his name to chair the drafting committee or if Nehru hadn't been supportive of his modern views of liberty, equality and fraternity wonder what would have happened to this country.
Looking forward to more such works from the team on leaders like Nehru and Patel.

Forming of Indian constitution! Fight for equality!!

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s (ambavadekar’s) work in granting equality rights to all Indians belonging to any religion or caste is phenomenal. Caste system at a higher level can be compared with a race inquality.Reviewed in the United States on 14 November 2020
Dr. Babasaheb’s struggle and hard work leading towards creation of a well balanced Indian constitution and granting similar rights to all Indians was phenomenal. India’s constitution powers India’s democracy.
Loved the fact that this book puts together all the knowledge in a graphic knowledge format. Certainly a very informative book and it makes reading fun! Nice pictures!!
Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s fight is more aligned with Martin Luther Kings fight. I was born in India and writing this review in Memphis, USA - connects me to both Ambedkar and MLK!
