The story of young Ambedkar falling into an ash pit from a tree, people teasing him and calling him Boodisaheba was something that might not have happened, need not have happened. But the image of a young Ambedkar saying that he might be Boodisaheba now but will be Babasaheb in future gave me goosebumps for how true it turned out to be.

It comes alive like a timeless Jataka tale about the Bodhisatta-to-be, Babasaheb. Translated from the Kannada into English by the journalist and musician S. Ramakrishna and published by Navayana in , the book features stunning graphic interpretations of each chapter by Laxman Aelay. The Babasaheb image that accompanies this excerpt is one such.

Kannada organizations had opened libraries where you could get Kannada newspapers and magazines, and Sriram- pura had its share of them. Tamil organizations had also opened libraries nearby and, along with Tamil journals, they stocked Kannada journals too.

I visited these libraries and learned much from them. I was delighted by the range of books I found there. This library was where I started to read poetry and fiction. Around that time, a student called Basavanna, who was in our hostel, gave me a slim book titled Avataarapurusha Ambedkar Ambedkar the Messiah to read. My enthusiasm for literature doubled after I read that book, and I started reading all the books I could find at the State Central Library in Cubbon Park.

I also started writing poetry around this time.
