The history of the Ambedkarite movement abroad has been well documented. Kanshi Ram had written about his travels to the United Kingdom in The Oppressed Indian, a periodical he ran for several years. Memoirs and articles were published in various Punjabi and English-language journals. The Tamil language sphere certainly had its diasporic anti-caste element active.
