    "The present book unfolds the multifarious aspects of Ambedkar's life as he was both unique and versatile. He developed in himself a vast array of qualities: Scholarship, erudition, logic, creativity, reason, eloquence and elegance. In him wisdom, spirit of rationalism and social revolt, contempt for injustice, inequality and superstitions, passion for humanism, justice and judiciousness, were harmoniously blended in right proportions. In fact, he was a unique genius of his times. 

    Ambedkar has a versatile personality as he was also a serious scholar, devoted leader, committed writer, distinguished educationist, social rebel, powerful debater, able administrator, liberal emancipator, authoritative constitutionalist, master statesmen, daring liberator of the downtrodden masses and a fearless fighter for human rights. The book therefore, presents not only an interesting reading, but also elucidates the meaning, worth and purpose of human life, as was illustrated in Ambedkar's life and literature." (jacket)
