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.
