Knowledge of Sanskrit
Dr. Ambedkar was made the Chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Constitution, created for the creation of the new constitution of independent India.
When it came to preparing the list of scheduled languages, Babasaheb wanted to give him the place of the Sanskrit language of all the languages too. However, due to opposition from most members, this could not be done. But during this time, once a discussion was going on between Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri and Ambedkar Ji regarding Sanskrit language, people saw that both of them were talking in Sanskrit.
Shastri ji could be expected to get knowledge of Sanskrit language, but Babasaheb, born in an uneducated Dalit family, has so much hold on Sanskrit language that no one thought it. Soon, the matter got mixed up in the media and all the people of Ambedkar ji started to believe in the iron.
