A new book "The Boy Who Wrote a Constitution", released on the occasion of Dr BR Ambedkar's 131st birth anniversary, seeks to inform children of the challenging boyhood and growing up years of India's first law minister. The fact-based drama, based largely on BR Ambedkar's own recollection of his childhood, is written by noted playwright and author Rajesh Talwar. It is published by Ponytale Books.

"I wrote the book for several reasons. All children reading about Babasaheb's childhood experiences will be inspired by his determination and heroic struggle against all odds. Secondly, non-Dalit children will learn that there are other children just like themselves who don't have it so easy.
