Dr. Kuldeep Chand Agnihotri
Became famous by this great name, shining like a star.
Baba ji was a scholar, a jurist, an economist of grace,
A politician, a social reformer,known in every place.
Father of the Indian Constitution, a maker of our Republic’s way,
A voice of India’s freedom, who fought with a noble say.
In his whole life, he fought against untouchability’s chain,
And wrote Waiting for a Visa from his own lived pain.
For giving reservation to Dalits, his efforts were wise and pure;
He formed the "Bahishkrit Hitkarini Sabha" to help the poor.
His wish to end the caste system was firm and strong,
Though many political groups said his thoughts were wrong.
Ambedkar ji sat on high positions with honour and pride,
And books were the love that always stayed by his side.
In Mumbai he built a home named “Rajgriha,” bright,
With a private library storing 50,000 books in its light.
(It was then the world’s largest private library of its time.
A treasure of knowledge, truly grand and prime.)
In 1936 he published "Annihilation of Caste", bold and clear,
Criticising casteism and religious leaders without fear.
He left Hinduism, embraced Buddhism with peace in his heart,
And gave India its Constitution, his wisdom, his art.
He was the first Indian with a doctorate in Economics so fine,
And wrote many important books in that learned line.
Administration and Finance of the East India Company,
Evaluation of Provincial Finance in British India,
The Problem of the Rupee: Its Origin and Its Solution.
His ideas even shaped the RBI’s foundation and evolution.
His last book The Buddha and His Dhamma was completed with care,
Just three days before he left this world’s affair.
And on 6 December 1956, he moved into eternal rest,
leaving a legacy forever noble, forever the best.
