If you visit the Nagpur official website and click on "History", you will see the following text

1956 A.D. :- On present 'Diksha Bhoomi' Ground, Dr B. R. Ambedkar embrassed Buddhism along with lakhs of his followers.

Talk about the Mother of all typos! Now there's an embrace that's utterly embarrasing! I have sent an email to the collector.

One of the better books that places Babasaheb's thinking in context is "Untouchables" by Narendha Jadhav.
