What is Mahaparinirvan Diwas?

In Buddhist traditions, the term "parinirvan" is used for someone who has attained nirvana in his lifetime and after death. Dr Ambedkar converted to Buddhism in 1956 in Nagpur. He inspired the Dalit Buddhist movement and campaigned against social discrimination towards the untouchables.
