Why is it that when someone puts up a photo of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar at home, people instantly assume they belong to a certain caste or background?

We don’t do that with other leaders, celebrities, or freedom fighters. Their photos are just “normal” — but Babasaheb’s? It still raises eyebrows.

In this short film by AaSoVa, we’re questioning this very mindset.
Even in 2025, Ambedkar’s legacy hasn’t been truly normalised — his image, his thoughts, his vision are still seen as “belonging” to a section of society, instead of the nation as a whole.

As the world gets ready to post tributes and celebrate his life again this April, maybe it’s time we ask ourselves —
Why not Babasaheb on our walls? Why not Babasaheb in our minds, our homes, our daily lives?

Watch. Think. Share. Let’s start the conversation — Why not Babasaheb?
