The Making of Deekshabhoomi : From Conversion to Construction | TAC Podcast | Ep 2

In this episode of The making of Deekshabhoomi, Dr. Rahul Sonpimple speaks with N.G. Kamble, a 91-year-old veteran Ambedkarite who witnessed the 1956 conversion ceremony in Nagpur where Dr. B.R. Ambedkar embraced Buddhism. Kamble reflects on that historic day, his journey devoted to preserving Babasaheb’s ideals. Together, they trace how Deekshabhoomi — once mired in legal restrictions and state silence — became a powerful site of Dalit resistance and spiritual freedom. This conversation reveals how a moment of conversion transformed into a monument of dignity and struggle.
