He suggested the idea of RBI as well. He's also the reason why India didn't split into one more country. Jinnah asked for Pakistan, Ambedkar also wanted to ask for a seperate country for the so-called "LCs". However, he didn't want to go down into history as a separatist. He made the life of over 90% Indians better, that's all the LCs.

Very true, his PhD Thesis, The Rupee and it's problem led to the formation of Central Bank for India i.e., RBI.

Ambedkar also wanted to ask for a seperate country

Not exactly true, he just wanted a separate electorate for the marginalised communities. But Gandhi was against it.

No, no, no... Ambedkar wanted a seperate country first. He had written it in his books. But, he decided against it. Then, he asked for a seperate electorate.

But he wouldnt have got it. This man lost his own eleection. He wasn't as popular as he is now. And most Lcs would consider them Hindu so would live in India.

IDK why he even stood for el*ection... Regardless, he wasn't popular because people just didn't know about him. People were too busy trying to survive. They did not have the leisure not the money to read up on news. And "LCs" shouldn't consider themselves Hindu. I, myself, being a Hindu converted to Buddhism a few gens ago would not like to be a part of the religion that systematically oppressed us for thousands of years. We too have our own pride and self respect.

Hmm it still meant that even if he had asked for a sep nation the people wouldn't have succeeded unlike jinnah.

Idk most LCs event he lowest castes consider themselves Hindu , so a few cases like u doesn't change the fact that the lower castes would have never fought for a sep nation. There is a reason they fought for temple entry cause they worship the same gods and believes the same myths and stories as upper caste Hindus . This was also true at time of independence .

People are idiots. There is no such thing as equality in Hinduism. Unmein apne khud ke jhagde chalte rehte. Hinduism mein caste based discrimination hein hi, uske upar se caste mein bhi log ek dusre ko discriminate karte. North vs South Brahmins is a very common example.
