📋 Total Questions: 50 (Based on Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary, Grammar, and Verbal Ability)

Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, venerated as Baba Saheb, emerges as an unparalleled luminary in India’s socio-political and jurisprudential firmament, his intellectual prowess and indefatigable resolve sculpting the nation’s constitutional edifice. Born on April 14, 1891, in the obscure Mahar hamlet of Ambavade, Maharashtra, into a caste beleaguered by untouchability, Ambedkar transcended egregious socio-economic subjugation to amass an erudite repertoire—encompassing M.A., Ph.D., D.Sc., and Barrister-at-Law credentials—rendering him an archetype of epistemic ascendancy amid adversity. His appointment as India’s inaugural Law Minister and Chairman of the Drafting Committee on August 29, 1947, precipitated a monumental constitutional odyssey, culminating in a 141-day deliberation that birthed the draft, submitted on February 21, 1948, and ratified on November 26, 1949, as the globe’s most voluminous written charter.

Ambedkar’s jurisprudential ingenuity is epitomized in Part III’s Fundamental Rights, notably Articles 15(2), 17, 23, and 24, which proscribe invidious discrimination and untouchability, and Article 32, which he exalted as the Constitution’s “soul,” empowering the Supreme Court with writs like habeas corpus for remedial adjudication. His advocacy for a Parliamentary democracy, articulated through the Government of India Act, 1935, underscored a predilection for egalitarianism, positing the President as a ceremonial fulcrum, beholden to ministerial counsel. Concurrently, his conceptualization of a “Dual Polity” federalism—oscillating between confederate autonomy and unitary exigency—evinced a nuanced adaptability to India’s heterogeneous exigencies.

The Directive Principles of State Policy, a non-justiciable yet aspirational framework, reflect his synthesis of social, Gandhian, and liberal ideologies, aiming to instantiate a welfare state. His reservation schema, enshrined in Articles 15(4), 16(4), and Schedules V and VI, epitomized protective discrimination, ameliorating the plight of Scheduled Castes, Tribes, and Other Backward Classes. Posthumously adorned with the Bharat Ratna, Ambedkar’s legacy as the Constitution’s architect endures, challenging CUET aspirants to decipher his intricate contributions to governance, equity, and jurisprudence., make a mock test on this for cuet english as today is ambedkar jayanti 2025, and make a thumbnail using my image pointing finger towards the title
