Amravati: Former violin teacher of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, Bal Sathe today said that Babasaheb was a dedicated man for any task and music was dear to him.
"His love for music reflected through his desire to learn violin," Sathe said at a felicitation programme here.
Sathe had the honour to teach Dr Ambedkar violin between 1951 and 1953 and is among those few alive who was in contact with the Dalit icon.
"I was 40 when I began giving violin lessons to Dr Ambedkar who was 60 then," he said.
"On the first day, when I told him that learning violin is the toughest task, he asked me to give all the literature regarding violin and I gave him the book 'Violin: How to Master It'," Sathe said.
