Dr. Ambedkar and Indian women

History


In this powerful episode of *Awaz OTP*, we explore the bold and revolutionary stand taken by **Dr. B.R. Ambedkar** against the oppressive and patriarchal structure of the **Hindu marriage system**. Dr. Ambedkar didn’t just challenge religious customs—he sought to legally dismantle the inequality embedded in them.


We deep-dive into:


The **discriminatory aspects** of Hindu marriage that oppressed women and Dalits

Why Dr. Ambedkar **resigned as Law Minister** over the **Hindu Code Bill**

His vision for a **modern, secular, and equal marriage law**

How the **Hindu Code Bill** could have transformed Indian society—if it had passed during his time

The **resistance he faced** from upper-caste leaders and orthodox institutions


This episode is not just about the past—it's about the **ongoing struggle** for social justice, gender equality, and legal reform. Dr. Ambedkar believed that without reforming family and marriage laws, **true democracy and liberty were impossible** in India.
