PM Modi hails Ambedkar's bust unveiling at UNESCO
On Constitution Day, a bust of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar was unveiled at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris—a moment Prime Minister Modi called a fitting tribute to the man behind India's Constitution.
The ceremony, led by India's Ambassador Vishal V Sharma, brought together diplomats and the Indian community to honor Ambedkar's legacy on a global stage.
Why this matters
Ambassador Sharma spoke about how Ambedkar championed equality and education—values that fit right in with UNESCO's mission.
PM Modi highlighted India's ongoing commitment to these constitutional principles.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also joined in via video, calling out Ambedkar's worldwide influence as a thinker.
Constitution Day (November 26) marks when India adopted its Constitution back in 1949, shaping the country we know today.
