Ambedkar paved the way for Indian women to legally vote, divorce, and own property. He was indeed a feminist.
Dr BR Ambedkar made this statement in a gathering of over 3,000 women in 1927.
In another speech in 1936, to communities of Joginis and Devadasis – who typically belonged to the Dalit community – Ambedkar urged these women to fight the regressive religious practice of offering pubescent girls to gods in temples and become “sexually available for community members”.
He said: “You will ask me how to make your living. I am not going to tell you that. There are hundreds of ways of doing it.
But I insist that you give up this degraded life…. and do not live under conditions which inevitably drag you into prostitution.
