Died on 6 December 1956
Every year on 6 December, this day is celebrated to remember the creator of the Constitution, pioneer of social justice and great thinker of modern India, Dr. Ambedkar. Let us tell you that Dr. Ambedkar died on 6 December 1956. This day is celebrated as Mahaparinirvan Day. In 1956 itself, Baba Saheb, unhappy with the evils and social inequalities of Hinduism, adopted Buddhism. According to Buddhist philosophy, Parinirvana means complete liberation after death i.e. being completely free from all desires, attachments and worldly bondages. This highest state is considered very difficult and is achieved only through virtuous and disciplined life.
