UP to add 'Ramji' to Ambedkar's name in official documents
The Uttar Pradesh government has decided to add 'Ramji' as Dr BR Ambedkar's middle name in all documents and records. The spelling of the leader's name in Hindi has also been changed so that it is pronounced as 'Aambedkar'. Ramji was Ambedkar's father's name and it is customary in Maharashtra to add it as middle name, officials said.
