“Humble tribute to Babasaheb on Ambedkar Jayanti! A strong advocate of social justice, Babasaheb laid the foundation of modern India as the architect of the Constitution. Let us do our part in building an inclusive society, following his ideals of ‘Indian first, Indian later and Indian last’,” roughly translated from President Kovind’s tweet in Hindi.
