Pondicherry: - Pondicherry or else known as Puducherry and referred to as ‘Pondy’ is a French colonial settlement as it was under the French rule till 1954. The French legacy of the place is safely preserved in the French quarters, streets lined with trees, chic boutiques and mustard colored colonial villas. You can find people conversing in both English and French even now. The seaside promenade along the Bay of Bengal that passes over several statues provides a beautiful sight. The aesthetics of the place are inspired by the French community and hence provides a unique visiting experience to every tourist.

December 1956), popularly known as Babasaheb, was an Indian lawyer, politician and academic who inspired the Dalit Buddhist movement and campaigned against social discrimination in India, striving for equal rights for the Dalit. As independent India's first law minister, he was the principal architect of the Constitution of India. Overcoming numerous social and financial obstacles, Ambedkar became one of the first "untouchables" to obtain a college education in India. Eventually earning law degrees and multiple doctorates for his study and research in law, economics and political science from Columbia University and the London School of Economics, Ambedkar returned home a famous scholar and practiced law for a few years before publishing journals advocating political rights and social freedom for India's untouchables. In his early career he was a private tutor, professor, and lawyer. His later life was marked by his political activities, where he became involved in the negotiations for India's independence, contributing significantly to the establishment of the state of India. In 1956 he converted to Buddhism, initiating mass conversions of Dalits. He has been given the degree of Bodhisattva by Indian Buddhist Bhikkues. Ambedkar was
posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award, in 1990.
