{"product_id":"babasaheb-my-life-with-dr-ambedkar-9780670096695","title":"Babasaheb: My Life with Dr Ambedkar","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn into a middle-class, Sarasvat Brahmin family, Dr Sharada Kabir met and got to know Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar as a patient riddled with life-threatening diseases, and eventually married him on 15 April 1948, getting rechristened as Savita Ambedkar. From the day of their wedding to the death of Dr Ambedkar on 6 December 1956, she aided him in some of his greatest achievements-drafting the Constitution of India, framing the Hindu Code Bill, writing some of his most celebrated books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Buddha and His Dhamma\u003c\/i\u003e, and leading millions of Dalits into Buddhism. Following his death, she was hounded into obscurity by some of Dr Ambedkar's followers, who saw her as a threat to their political ambitions. She re-emerged into public life in 1970 and got back to working on the mission to which her husband had devoted his life-the welfare of the Dalit community. Her autobiography, \u003ci\u003eDr Ambedkaraanchya Sahavaasaat\u003c\/i\u003e, was first published in Marathi in 1990. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This English translation by Nadeem Khan unearths a much valuable and forgotten account, an intimate portrait of one of the greatest figures of the twentieth century. A tenacious fighter, an outstanding scholar and an iconic leader, Dr B.R. Ambedkar was all that and more. Savita Ambedkar brings alive a different side of her husband: a man who wrote romantic letters, dictated what she should wear, whipped up delicious mutton curry, played the violin, and even tried his hand at sculpting. This is a book that humanizes Ambedkar as no other book has done yet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780670096695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs","brand":"Nadeem Khan, Savita Ambedkar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43049462726837,"sku":"9780670096695","price":23.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_02cd86bc-beb0-47a4-88e3-5ad2af36ee0a.jpg?v=1689689958","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/babasaheb-my-life-with-dr-ambedkar-9780670096695","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
