Abstract
Recently, a video of a young girl named Swara Vanvi paying her tribute to Babasaheb Ambedkar went viral on social media. Videos like Vanvi’s have become popular in recent times, a sign of cultural symbolism developing around Dr B.R. Ambedkar’s contribution to the women’s movement and their emancipation in India. The cultural reverence towards him, particularly by Dalit-Bahujan women, is a consequence of Ambedkar’s genuine efforts toward women’s emancipation.
