Dr Savita Bhimrao Ambedkar (née Kabir; 27 January 1909 – 29 May 2003), was an Indian social activist, doctor and the second wife of B.R. Ambedkar. Ambedkarites and Buddhists refer to her as Mai or Maisaheb, which means 'Mother' or ‘Respected Mother’ in the Marathi language.[1][2]
Throughout the writing of B. R. Ambedkar’s books, his work in drafting the Indian Constitution and the Hindu code bills and during the Buddhist mass conversion, she helped him on many occasions and was one of his sources of inspiration. Ambedkar credited her in the preface of his book The Buddha and His Dhamma for extending his life for eighteen years.[3][4][5]
