Right To Vote ( Equal For All Women And Men In India ) i.e 'Adult Franchise' Was Given By Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar.

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and "Right to Vote" in India

25th January is observed as the National Voters Day in our Nation. Well...! Firstly I would like to say one thing, at least to spread something awareness about our Constitutional right ( Article 326) i.e " Right to Vote" to some people. Now all the Indians have right to vote without bias in gender, caste, class, literacy and religion. It was "Founding Father Of Modern India" Revolutionary Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar who was the first person in India who voiced for the 'Universal Adult Franchise' before the Southborough Commission for all Indians without bias in gender, Caste, Class, literacy and religion. I don't know how many Indians know, it was because of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar who conferred the fundamentals of democratic principle 'Adult franchise' in the Indian social reality i.e. Right to Vote to every Indian without any discrimination through the Indian Constitution. For this, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar faced the radical problem from Mr. Vallabhai Patel.
Even I don't know how many Indian Women's know that the contribution of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar who fight for equal rights for women and for their voting rights. Today Our constitution granted voting rights to all Indian women as a right because of him. But before Independent India, it was not an easy task for everyone 'right to vote' even for the men also. Mostly the "Right to Vote" was given only to those who were rich, who owned lands and the tax payers. Some people may claim Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms granted votes to Women. But it was under condition (like man) to some women in province only not for whole part in India.
