‘Ambedkar Odu’, a unique experiment of reading out B.R. Ambedkar’s writings on a digital platform to take them closer to common people, crossed a milestone of 100 hours of reading on the 131st birth anniversary of the chief architect of the Constitution on Thursday.
A total of 321 people have read out 470 writings of Ambedkar on a wide range of topics in the series.
Initiated by Kannada writer and scholar Arun Joladkudligi on September 7, 2020, the programme envisioned reading an Ambedkar’s article a day and uploading it on an online platform. On Thursday, the series received over eight lakh views on the YouTube channel where the audio recordings are uploaded.
