Mahaparinirvan Din or Mahaparinirvan Diwas is marked annually on December 6. This day is observed to honour the death anniversary of Dr BR Ambedkar, the father of Indian Constitution. Mahaparinirvan Diwas is the 64th death anniversary of Bharat Ratna Babasaheb Ambedkar. Other than drafting the constitution, Babasaheb Ambedkar played an important role in reforming the Dalit-Buddhist movement and highlight the problems faced by the community at the hands of the caste system.
