Today at the Parliament complex, PM Modi, President Murmu, and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar presented him with flower tributes.
Since Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar was a Buddhist, his passing anniversary is referred to as Mahaparinirvan Diwas as a token of respect. Lord Buddha’s passing is referred to in Buddhist texts as Mahaparinirvan, which is Sanskrit for “nirvana after death.”
“On Mahaparinirvan Diwas, I pay homage to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and recall his exemplary service to our nation. His struggles gave hope to millions and his efforts to give India such an extensive Constitution can never be forgotten,” PM Modi said in a tweet.

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi wrote on Twitter, “My homage to Babasaheb Ambedkar. His life and his message inspire us everyday to strive for justice for all. Jai Bhim.”
On April 14, 1891, Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was born. Numerous monuments and images of Ambedkar can be seen in popular culture. He had a more profound influence on contemporary India as a sociopolitical reformer.
