Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, a prominent social reformer, politician, and the architect of the Indian Constitution, burned a copy of the Manusmriti on December 25, 1927, during the Mahad Satyagraha in Mahad, Maharashtra, India. This act was a symbolic protest against the oppressive caste system and the discrimination and social inequalities it perpetuated.
