Throughout his life Ambedkar faced routine discrimination: in school at the age of 10; in Baroda after his return from Columbia University and while travelling in later life. The discrimination experienced by Ambedkar continues to haunt a majority of India’s 170 million Dalits as many are still denied water, shelter and the basic dignities of life.
