Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, popularly known as Baba Saheb stood for the emancipation of untouchables. Being the chief architect of the constitution of India guarantees, protects, and safeguards the rights and interests of all in general and of untouchables in particular. Ambedkar wanted to instill in the hearts of untouchables, the ideas of self-dignity, self-confidence and self respect.

For the very same purpose, he had started the ‘Bahishikrita Hitakarini Sabha’. The movement he had started was known as ‘self-respect movement’. In order to attain a respectable position in society, he asked untouchables to follow five principles, i.e., Pancha Sutras’. They are; Self Improvement, Self-Dependence, Self-Respect, Self-Confidence and Self Progress.

In order to create awareness among the untouchables, Ambedkar started a paper called Mooka Nayaka. He brought them under one banner; organized ‘All-India Depressed Classes Conference’ in 1942 at Nagpur. In his dalit movement, Ambedkar suggested three principles: Education, Agitation and Organization.
