BR Ambedkar emerged as a messiah for Raghunath Dhondo Karve
Raghunath Dhondo Karve of maharashtra was the target of conservatives for his magazine "Samaj Swasthya". Karve always liked to write on topics like sex education, family planning, nudity, morality in his magazine, but then the social and political structure of india was not so strong that it could support Karve. And in such a situation, baba Saheb Ambedkar came forward as a messiah for Karve and advocated for him in the court.
BR Ambedkar was ready to fight Karve's case in the High Court
The questions were only about masturbation and homosexuality, which Karve answered openly. At that time, talking about such things in society was considered obscene and harmful. But this time Karve was not alone. Then a seasoned lawyer from Mumbai, Barrister BR Ambedkar was ready to fight for him in the High Court. If the subject of "Samaj Swasthya" is sex education and sexual relations and the common reader asks questions about it, then why should it not be answered. This was Ambedkar's direct question. If Karve is not allowed to answer it, it means the magazine should be closed. BR Ambedkar believed that if people have such a desire, then there is nothing wrong in it. They have the right to achieve happiness in their own way.
