Dr. B. R Ambedkar: The untold truth

Posted on

The bilingual movie starring Mammootty is directed by Jabbar Patel.

After 2014, India regained two conflicting personalities. During their lifetime, both of them quarreled a lot with each other. One is Gandhi. The other is Ambedkar. I am reminded of the dialogue in the movie Pa Ranjith that there is a politics in Gandhi ditching his clothes and Ambedkar wearing foreign clothes. Their interventions have made significant contributions in shaping India as it is today.

The movie is available on YouTube.

The film first takes you to Ambedkar's study period at Columbia University. From there, the film takes us to round table meetings and special electorate discussions, ending with a historical juncture to Ambedkar's Bhimayana Buddhism.
