“I want every children and adult to know about the life of Ambedkar ji. At that time he was the first Indian to have a doctorate degree and he had not one, but two doctorate degrees, and both from abroad. He was also the chairman of the seven member drafting committee of the Constitution of the independent India. He also contributed in eradicating the social scourge of untouchability in India,” Kejriwal said in a digital press briefing on Monday.
