Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar is a 2000 Indian English-Hindi bilingual feature film directed by Jabbar Patel.

[6] Bhimrao Ambedkar, studying in the Columbia University library, is approached by Lala Lajpat Rai to join his home rule league but Ambedkar refuses to do so, as he came here on the scholarship of his highness, Sayajirao Gaekwad III of Baroda State.

He sent his precious and much-loved collection of books back on a steamer but it was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine.

However, upon arriving in Baroda, he realized that none of the Hindu hotels would allow his to stay due to him being a low caste.

In Bombay, Ambedkar applies for the post of professorship as a professor of political economy in Sydenham College of Commerce and Economics.

When Ambedkar comes to drink from the water pot in the staff room, a professor named Trivedi doesn't like it and instead insults him.

After meeting Shri Shahu Maharaj of Kolhapur, Ambedkar starts a newspaper called Mooknayak in the year 1920.

The Maharaj declared in prophetic vein, "You have found your saviour in Ambedkar and I am confident that he will break your shackles".

The film was a project funded jointly by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment and the Government of Maharashtra.
