Exploring Dr. B. R. Ambedkar's iconography in contemporary Mumbai as the Blue Icon, an exhibition of Photos by Students of the Photography Promotion Trust.
Dr. Ambedkar’s diverse and distinct character has made him known to many as a leader of the untouchables, the father of Indian constitution, the advocate of equality and social justice and as a law minister who wrote one of the best constitutions in the world. Ambedkar’s character is marked distinct not only as a philosopher, an academician and a political leader, but primarily as a person who had come from a very humble background and reached the highest levels of fame and respect one can achieve. Ambedkar’s unshakable faith in democracy and belief in participation of all in the socio-political decision making led him to formulate the constitution of India. Through the constitution of India he ensured equality of all by law that so as to eradicate discrimination on the basis of caste, class gender or community. Ambedkar’s life and vision encompassed an analysis of the rage and struggle against all forms of exploitation, and he envisioned a society that would be free from exploitation and inequality. He envisaged equality, liberty and fraternity in the society and strived for the same through his numerous movements.
