History:
Baba Saheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, officially recognised as one of the greatest
lawyers in history, has his portraits amongst the finest in the world at the
prestigious Grays Inn in London.
Furthermore, he is the only person honoured with two portraits
here and the only non-White. What an achievement Babasaheb!
Thanks to "Dr Ambedkar
Memorial Committee of Great Britain" for taking the initiative to donate
the first portrait, which served as an inspiration to young Indian lawyers
passing through Grays inn.
Second portrait
of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar unveiled
in Grays inn, London:
The second portrait (above), sponsored by the Indian government is
painted by world renowned artist, Hazel Morgan.
"The fact that Babasaheb is the only
personality with TWO portraits, makes him the “most popular lawyer amongst the
greatest” and the ONLY non-white /non-English", was highlighted by Shekhar
Bodhakar, an Ambedkarite thinker from
London, at the unveiling ceremony.
"This is a great
honour for all Indians and lovers of justice across the world. Babasaheb Dr
Ambedkar truly is one of the greatest intellectuals and human rights advocates
the modern world has witnessed," said Shekhar.
