Architect of India's Constitution, messiah of the downtrodden, brilliant lawyer, Dalit activist, freedom fighter -- Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar was all these, and more. The sum of his parts doesn't begin to do justice to the whole. On his 130th birth anniversary, Outlook pays tribute to the visionary who was clairvoyant about India's experiment with democracy, through the works of performance artist Prabhakar Kamble.
The Visionary
Architect of India's Constitution, messiah of the downtrodden, brilliant lawyer, Dalit activist, freedom fighter -- Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar was all these, and more. The sum of his parts doesn't begin to do justice to the whole. On his 130th birth anniversary, Outlook pays tribute to the visionary who was clairvoyant about India's experiment with democracy, through the works of performance artist Prabhakar Kamble. Kamble’s ‘Human in Una’ is a response to the lynching of Dalits at Una in Gujarat, in which he confronts the suppression of lived experiences of Dalits by culling episodes from their collective histories, as he attempts to set up a dialogue with the audience.
