While B. R. Ambedkar consistently fought for the rights and upliftment of Scheduled Castes through political means (representation, separate electorates initially) and organized movements throughout his life, his ultimate solution to escape the inherent discrimination and caste system within Hinduism was to lead a mass conversion to Buddhism in 1956, shortly before his death.
