Google has dedicated its doodle to mark Dr. BR Ambedkar's 124th birth anniversary. The doodle appears notonly on India's Google home page, but that of seven others countries as well, say reports.

Popularly known as Babasaheb, the Indian jurist, politician, economist and social reformer, who was born in 1841 in Mhow, Madhya Pradesh, was known for his campaigns against social discrimination against dalits, women and labour.

Dr. Ambedkar, who had inspired the Modern Buddhist Movement, had died in his sleep on 6 December 1956 at his home in Delhi.
