Introducing Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, the subject of our latest online exhibition, depicted in white with a copy of the Indian Constitution on his lap. #LSEAmbedkar 
Ambedkdar first studied at @LSENews in 1916. Here’s a copy of his application form, where the course cost ten pounds and ten shillings (paid for by a scholarship that he won). #LSEAmbedkar
He took classes in Geography, Political Ideas, Social Evolution, and Social Theory. His attendance record marks his absence at some of these classes, where Ambedkdar was otherwise engaged in his own research. #LSEAmbedkar
He returned to the LSE a second time and worked on his doctorate, which would eventually be published as The Problem of the Rupee. Here’s his signed dedication to his PhD supervisor, Prof. Edwin Cannan. #LSEAmbedkar
Our online exhibition makes available for the first time Ambedkdar’s whole student file, which you can explore and download in full here: lse.ac.uk/library/whats-… #LSEAmbedkar
