Due to such a tight schedule and problems of insomnia, Ambedkar was on homeopathic medicines.
B R Ambedkar went to Mumbai for medical treatment and there he met his second lady love- Sharada Kabir.

According to history, these two had exchanged many love letters between them! Each letter amounting to 18-20 pages!
40-50 letters were traded between them, in which Baba Saheb used to dedicate her as Saru
And they soon got married on 15th April, 1948.After marriage she entitled her name to Savita Ambedkar and was also known as Mai (mother).
She was always concerned about his diet. She strictly followed the time table required for him from the point of view of medicine, health,food and rest.

Theirs was a Love story, which contravened caste.
But True Love doesn’t have any conditions.It happens eventually, by even ignoring the caste, the looks and the religion. Inner qualities are what matter the most.
Fighting for what is right and doing whatever it takes to keep your Love strong, is a sign of a Pure Lover.
Other than being the Father of Modern India,Baba Saheb has also set an example to love a person beyond Caste, creed or religion.
And made us believe, that affection doesn’t consist of any boundaries but just Pure Love between each other.
