500 _aAmbedkar, Bhimrao Ramji (1891-1956) was leader of the Harijans (untochables or low caste Hindu) and Law Minister of the Government of India (1947-51). Born into a Mahar (low caste) family of Western India, he as a boy was humiliated by his high caste school fellows. The Gaekwad (ruler) of Baroda awarded him a scholarship, and he studied at Universities in the United States, Britain and Germany. When he returned to India, he entered the Baroda Public Service at the Gaekwadâ s request, but again he was ill-treated by his high caste colleagues.
