On Sunday, November 26, President Droupadi Murmu, along with Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal and Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, led a significant event at the Supreme Court. They unveiled a big 7-foot-tall statue as a tribute to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the founder of the Indian Constitution.
This happened on Constitution Day, and President Murmu took a moment to honor Dr. Ambedkar, recognising him not just as the main person behind the Constitution but also as the first Law Minister of independent India.
The impressive 7-foot statue is a symbol of legal and constitutional importance. It shows Dr. Ambedkar dressed as a lawyer, holding a copy of the Constitution in his left hand—a clear representation of his lasting impact and strong commitment to justice and equality.
Placed on a grand stand, the statue now stands in the front lawn and garden of the Supreme Court. This important statue is a constant reminder of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s huge contributions to the laws of our country and his unyielding dedication to making India a fair and equal democracy.
