Remembering Ambedkar, the accomplished economist

Dr BR Ambedkar, largely remembered as a political leader, was also an accomplished economist. He was one of the few leaders, who made immense contributions to both caste and currency, untouchability and unemployment, public expenditure and poverty eradication. On his birth anniversary on April 14, TNIE chronicles some of his key contributions.
