Where are the third and fourth generations of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and what are they doing now?

Historians believe that Gandhi and Nehru influenced Indian politics the most..but we believe that Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar influenced Indian politics the most and left an effective political legacy. But do you know what happened to Baba Saheb’s family after him…what did his next generations do and where and how is the fourth generation now?

Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar’s first wife

Actually, now the fourth generation of Baba Saheb Ambedkar is among the people. Some of them are activists while others are engaged in strengthening the Dalit movement. Dr. Ambedkar had two marriages. He had 5 children from his first wife Ramabai, out of which 4 died in childhood. Except Yashwantrao Ambedkar, he had no children left. Ramabai also died at the age of 37. Baba Saheb has dedicated his book Thoughts on Pakistan to his first wife.

After that, in 1948, Baba Saheb’s second marriage took place with Dr. Savita. Ambedkar says that the effect of Savita’s treatment was that her life got extended by 8 to 10 years. Savita died in Mumbai in 2003. In her later years, she also became active in the Republican Party of India, the party founded by Ambedkar.

Yashwantrao Ambedkar

If we talk about Yashwantrao, he was the only one among his 5 siblings to survive…after Baba Saheb’s death, he continued following his father’s path. He strengthened the Buddhist movement for a long time. Later he was also made the President of Buddhist Society of India. Yashwantrao also remained active in politics for a long time and kept giving edge to the Dalit movement. He also died 21 years after Baba Saheb’s death. When he died in 1977, a crowd of more than 10 lakh people participated in his funeral procession. They had 4 children, which included three sons and 1 daughter.

Baba Saheb’s third generation

If we talk about the third generation of Baba Saheb, it includes the family of Yashwantrao’s two sons Prakash Ambedkar, Anandraj Ambedkar and daughter Rama Anand. Not much information is available about Yashwantrao’s third son Bhimrao. Let us tell you that Prakash Ambedkar is the eldest son of Yashwantrao. He has been associated with the Dalit movement. He has had a significant influence on the politics of Maharashtra. He has been a Lok Sabha MP twice and a Rajya Sabha MP once. At present he is the founder and national president of Bharip Bahujan Mahasangh.

If we talk about Anandraj Ambedkar, he is the second son of Yashwantrao. He did engineering but now he is active in politics. Anandraj Ambedkar has formed the Republican Army…He has two sons Sahil and Aman. Rama Anand, the only granddaughter of Baba Saheb and daughter of Yashantrao, is married to Anand Teltumbde. Anand is a professor in Goa. He has been writing a lot on the caste system of the country. His daughters are Prachi and Rashmi, both of them also keep writing for Dalits and the underprivileged.

If we talk about the fourth generation of Baba Saheb, it is represented by Sujat Ambedkar, son of Prakash Ambedkar. She is very active on social media..her stylish look is quite powerful. He has taken a degree in journalism. A large crowd gathers in his public meetings.
