This intellectual biography incorporates all of Dr Ambedkar’s writings and most important speeches that he delivered. On the other hand, these biographers did not have the benefit of accessing all writings and speeches of Dr Ambedkar, which became available only in the subsequent period.

While a fair amount of writings by Dr Ambedkar is available, there is only one English biography—the one by Dhananjay Keer, first published in 1954. He joined the Reserve Bank of India in 1977, served in various capacities and is presently Head of its Department of Economic Analysis & Policy.

In addition, Dr Jadhav’s three autobiographical novels i.e., ‘Aamcha Baap Aan Amhi’ (Marathi, 1993), ‘Outcaste’ (English, 2002) and ‘Untouchables’ (English, 2005) present deep humanistic values underlying the real life story of struggle for human dignity by a Dalit family.
