Ambedkar was a prolific student, earning doctorates in economics from both Columbia University and the London School of Economics, and gained a reputation as a scholar for his research in law, economics and political science.[10] In his early career he was an economist, professor, and lawyer. His later life was marked by his political activities; he became involved in campaigning and negotiations for India's independence, publishing journals, advocating political rights and social freedom for Dalits, and contributing significantly to the establishment of the state of India. In 1956 he converted to Buddhism, initiating mass conversions of Dalits.[11]
Popularly, Ambedkar came to be known as Babasaheb as he was a great liberator. “Babasaheb” is a Marathi phrase which roughly translates as “Father-Lord”[12] as Baba means Father and Saheb is called for Lords and it is a name that is used for ambedkar who is a part of Indian history by his people around the country.[12]
In 1990, the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award, was posthumously conferred upon Ambedkar. Ambedkar's legacy includes numerous memorials and depictions in popular culture.
