Mumbai: Ambedkar Jayanti, widely known as Bhim Jayanti, is a momentous occasion observed every year on the 14th of April to celebrate the birth anniversary of Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, the principal architect of the Indian Constitution and the first Law Minister of independent India. Born on 14th April 1891, Dr Ambedkar dedicated his life to the upliftment of the oppressed and the creation of a just and equal society.
This day, also regarded as ‘Equality Day’, stands as a powerful reminder of Babasaheb’s relentless struggle against caste discrimination and his vision for a society based on liberty, equality, and fraternity. Across India and various parts of the world, millions of people — especially Dalits, Adivasis, labourers, women, and followers of Buddhism — gather in unity to pay tribute through vibrant processions, cultural programs, and visits to his statues and memorials.
Particularly in places like Mumbai (Chaityabhoomi) and Nagpur (Deekshabhoomi), people gather in large numbers to pay homage. Streets are filled with colourful processions, songs of unity, speeches, cultural performances, and floral tributes to Babasaheb’s statues. Educational institutions, government offices, and social groups organise events to discuss his contributions and spread awareness about his mission.
Dr Ambedkar was not only a jurist and social reformer, but also a brilliant economist, philosopher, writer, and a tireless advocate for human rights. His work continues to inspire generations to stand up against inequality and work towards a society where every individual is treated with dignity and fairness, regardless of their caste, gender, or background.
As we mark his birth anniversary on Tuesday, 14th April 2025, it is a moment to reflect on how far we have come — and how far we still have to go — in realising his dream of an India where liberty, equality, and fraternity are not just constitutional ideals, but lived realities for all.
On this meaningful occasion, we bring to you a collection of inspirational speeches in English, Hindi, and Marathi — ideal for schools, public functions, and community gatherings — to help you honour Babasaheb’s towering legacy.
Here are Ambedkar Jayanti’s speeches in Hindi:
