In 1907, he passed his matriculation examination and in the following year he entered Elphinstone College, which<br />

was affiliated to the University <strong>of</strong> Bombay, becoming the first from his untouchable community to do so. This<br />

success provoked celebrations in his community and after a public ceremony he was presented with a biography <strong>of</strong><br />

the Buddha by Dada Keluskar, the author and a family friend. His higher education continued in Elphinstone<br />

College. Political Science and Economics were the subjects in which he graduated from the Bombay University in<br />

1912.<br />
