The Federation of Ambedkarite and Buddhist Organisations UK (FABO UK) in collaboration with the Inequality and Poverty Research Programme, Department of Anthropology at the LSE and the India Observatory at the LSE, are hosting an International Conference to mark the Centenary of Dr B R Ambedkar joining the LSE.

Key Guest Speaker: Nobel Laureate and Bharat Ratna, Economist and Philosopher, Professor Amartya Sen

The aim of our Conference is to bring together academics, economists, business leaders, equality champions, politicians and women leaders to highlight the relevance of Dr Ambedkar’s work on the economic and social reforms in India and beyond; and to remove him from the pigeon-hole of ‘Leader of the Depressed Classes’ only.
