Becoming Babasaheb : In conversation with Aakash Singh Rathore on Dr. B R Ambedkar's biography

In this enlightening and insightful conversation Aakash Singh Rathore, the distinguished author of 'Becoming Babasaheb: The Life and Times of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (Volume 1)', takes us into the intricate journey of shaping the biography of the iconic figure, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
Currently available Ambedkar's biographies rely on one of two sources. The first, relied upon by Marathi speakers, is C.B. Khairmode’s 12-volume Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar Charitra. The second, relied upon by non-Marathi speakers - and the most cited book of Ambedkar Studies - is Dhananjay Keer’s Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar: Life & Mission. These 'authoritative' biographies are riddled with misinformation. This engaging discussion uncovers the meticulous process behind Rathore's groundbreaking biography, which seeks to rectify historical inaccuracies in previous biographies and provide a comprehensive understanding of Dr. Ambedkar's early life and ideas.
Accompanying Aakash Singh Rathore are:
Vijayashanthi Murthy, Assistant Professor in the Department of English at St. Joseph's College of Commerce, Bangalore.
Disha KR, Research Scholar at IIT Bombay.
Narasimhamurthy VL, Assistant Professor in the Department of English at National College, Bangalore.
Together, these scholars delve into the significance of archival research, the challenges of uncovering obscured truths, and the profound impact of Dr. Ambedkar's visionary thought on modern society.
