Translation (English-Hindi) Exercise - 42

 Mahaparinirvan Diwas is observed every year on 6th December to commemorate the death anniversary of Dr. B R Ambedkar. Parinirvana is a Sanskrit term which means release or freedom after death. Ambedkar, having studied the religion extensively, emerged as a Buddhist leader and guru following his conversion to Buddhism. Owing to Ambedkar's status as a Buddhist leader, his death anniversary is referred to as Mahaparinirvana Diwas. Also known as the Father of the Indian Constitution, Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (popularly known as Babasaheb) chaired the Drafting Committee of the Constituent Assembly and was India's First Minister for Law and Justice. A pioneering social reformer, jurist, economist, author, polyglot orator, scholar of comparative religions and thinker, he was a multi-faceted man who remapped the frontiers of human achievement by his sheer tenacity, perseverance and the will to excel against all odds. Dr. Ambedkar braved the walls of prejudice and caste discrimination in early 20th century India to emerge as an exemplar and an unflinching crusader against the inequities of caste system and socio-economic deprivation that afflicted millions of Indians. His life is an inspirational story of achievements despite trying circumstances and the indomitable will to move beyond individual strife for the larger cause of social justice and national renaissance.
