Nanak Chand Rattu information

Nanak Chand Rattu (1922–2002) was the personal assistant of B. R. Ambedkar, India's first Minister of Law. Like Ambedkar, Rattu was born in a Dalit family that was considered untouchable in the traditional caste-based society. He came from Punjab to Delhi in search of a job, and became known to Ambedkar as a government employee. Even after Ambedkar resigned from his position, Rattu continued to serve him, and typed most of his writings, including the manuscripts of The Buddha and His Dhamma and Riddles in Hinduism. After Ambedkar's death, he wrote books on Ambedkar's life that were published in the 1990s.
