Time to educate you,
No he was not, its a common misconception.
He was the
Chairman of the
Drafting Committee of the
Constituent Assembly.
The constitution itself is an adaptation of the earlier British India constitution modified to include aspects of Free India. THAT is why our IPC is still from the british days.
Other members of the drafting committee were,
K M Munshi (Ex- Home Minister, Bombay)
Alladi Krishnaswamy Iyer (Ex- Advocate General, Madras State)
N Gopalaswami Ayengar (Ex-Prime Minister, J&K, member of Nehru Cabinet)
B L Mitter (Ex-Advocate General, India)
Md. Saadullah (Ex- Chief Minister of Assam, Muslim League member)
D P Khaitan (lawyer).
B L Mitter resigned from the committee. He was replaced by Madhav Rao (Legal Advisor of Maharaja of Vadodara).
D P Khaitan passed away and was replaced by T T Krishnamachar.
1. Manusmriti talks about VARNA not CASTE.
British created CASTE is just the codification of the JAATHIS which the Manusmirit spoke AGAINST and tried to dismantle the Jaathi's system and replace them with VARNAS.
2. Manu was the wise law giver who gave the laws more than 15,000 years ago.
3. Ambedkar's understanding of Manusmriti and "caste" was from the then available BRITISH TRANSLATION and Propaganda. He was a product of his Age, same as Nehru.
Due to British codified "Caste" system, HE associated "Caste" and "dalits" with Hinduism.
If He was alive today to watch the caste system and dalits in Xtians and Muslims, he will change his mind in a jiffy.
Its called a METAPHOR
The VARNA's (
Varna comes from VAR which means Choice) of Brahmin is born from the Mind, they serve the Mind.
The VARNA of the Shudra is the uneducated service caste, HENCE the Feet. ( did not have cars and bikes back then) etc.
Yet that is what Reservation tries to do.
Make the Dalits life "Sweet" while propagating the same social system.
Again inspired by British christian interpretation of the Vedas. Ambedkar DID NOT KNOW SANSKRIT.
Sikhs say the same thing. Yet they are part of Hinduism.
Chalo, let us agree that Feroz gandhi was a "Parsi", why was he cremated ? then why was his ashes buried ?
Do you know who M.O Mathai was ? He was Nehru's special assistant (Personal Assistant – PA) for almost a decade & a half (between 1946 & 1959).
Did you know he wrote a Autobiography which s BANNED IN INDIA ?
I strongly suggest that you read it, In fact, let me help you find it.

I don't give a $hit about the gandhi or the CONgress, much less consider them my "mortal foe"
.... those are merely the creation of your fertile imagination and your deep prejudices.
In fact he wrote a whole Chapter called "SHE" , which has been forcible withdrawn by the publisher
But the internet being what it is has been circulating the unofficial Copy of this CHapter too.
I strongly suggest that you read it too.

THEN you can wonder why Sanjiv Gandhi was Circumcised.
PS: Sanjiv named was changed to Sanjay when he was caught by the british police trying to seal a Car
