About The Book
“It all began with a question that refused to leave me—why would a man who was denied
even a glass of water go on to draft the Constitution of the very nation that oppressed
him?”
Saheb (Beyond Dalits) is more than just a book; it is a heartfelt exploration of the
extraordinary journey of Bharat Ratna Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar—a man who
turned his pain into power. Born into a world that sought to break him, Ambedkar chose
to fight, not just for himself but for every soul shackled by discrimination.
What made him rise against impossible odds? What ignited the fire within him to
challenge an unjust system? This book offers a glimpse into his Life—the struggles that
shaped him, the battles that defined him, and the vision that continues to inspire
generations.
He was a visionary who fought for every oppressed soul—women, labourer’s, the poor,
and even the unborn child yet to take their first breath in this world. His mission was
not just for one community but for humanity, for a future where no one would suffer the
injustices he endured.
This is not a tale of victimhood but a story of victory. It reminds us that greatness is not
bestowed—it is earned. If Dr. B.R. Ambedkar could rise from oppression to rewrite
India’s destiny, what stops us from rewriting our own?
Education is the milk of a lioness; the one who drinks it cannot stay without roaring.
Babasaheb’s roar changed a nation.
Read this book—not just to know his story but to find the courage to roar and rewrite
your own.
Book Review: Saheb – Beyond Dalits by Ankit Bagdi
A Story of Strength, Struggle, and Social Change
Saheb: Beyond Dalits by Ankit Bagdi is a moving and powerful book that tells the story of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, one of India’s most important leaders. The book shows how a man who faced deep discrimination rose to become the voice of justice and equality for millions of people.
Dr. Ambedkar was born into a society that treated him unfairly because of his caste. He was denied even the basic dignity of being given a glass of water. But instead of giving in to the injustice, he chose to fight it with education, courage, and determination. His journey from being oppressed to becoming the chief architect of the Indian Constitution is described with great care and emotion.
This book focuses not just on his struggles but also on his vision. Dr. Ambedkar did not fight for only one community—he stood for the rights of women, workers, the poor, and even the unborn. His mission was for a better and fairer world for all. The author highlights how Ambedkar’s ideas and efforts were never limited by narrow boundaries. His dream was equality for all of humanity.
The writing is emotional yet simple, making it easy to connect with Ambedkar’s journey. The book reminds us that his life was not just filled with pain but also filled with great achievements. It shows how he turned suffering into strength, and how his roar for justice shook a nation into change.
One of the key messages in the book is the importance of education. For Ambedkar, education was the strongest weapon against injustice. The phrase “Education is the milk of a lioness; the one who drinks it cannot stay without roaring” perfectly sums up his belief in learning and empowerment.
This book is more than a biography—it is a celebration of resilience, leadership, and transformation. It inspires readers to reflect, act, and rise above challenges, just as Dr. Ambedkar did.
