The complex politics of looking at Ambedkar just as the architect of the Constitution.

>>In 1946, Ambedkar and Patel had begun to discuss the future of Dalits in independent India. Ambedkar wanted to increase political reservations, while Patel saw an opportunity to bring one of the Congress’ most fierce critics into the ranks of the party. On hearing about this discussion, on 1 August 1946, Gandhi wrote to Patel claiming that Ambedkar could not be trusted as “one has to be very careful indeed when dealing with a man who would become Christian, Muslim or Sikh and then be reconverted according to his convenience”. In short, it is quite unlikely that Gandhi endorsed Ambedkar as the Chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee.<<
