== Journalism and educational career ==
[[Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar]] started a [[Satyagraha]] demanding the cancellation of the [[Poona Pact]] in Pune on 18 July 1946, because the Cabinet Mission to India rejected the independent political existence of [[untouchability|untouchables]] in 1946. This is called 'Pune Satyagraha'. For support this Satyagraha, student Kamble wrote an article ''Dalit Satyagrahinchi Kaifiyat'' (the Pleading of the Dalit Satyagrahies) in Kirloskar, a leading journal at that time. This article was published in the November 1946 issue of 'Kirloskar'. After that, Ambedkar himself read the article and appointed him as editor of ''Janata'' weekly. From 1948 to 1954, Kamble served as the editor of the ''Janata'' weekly. From 1956 to 1958, he served as the editor of the ''Prabuddha Bharat'' weekly. From 1959 to 1975, he served as the editor of the ''Republic'' weekly. The ''Janata'' and the ''Prabuddha Bharat'' were started by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. Kamble followed Ambedkar. Due to the influence of Ambedkar, he converted to [[Buddhism]] in 1956. During 1956–57, he served as a Professor of [[Constitutional Law]] in [[Siddharth College of Law, Mumbai]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://maharashtratimes.indiatimes.com/editorial/samwad/babasahebs-loyal-follower-b-c-kamble/articleshow/70205406.cms|title=बाबासाहेबांचे निष्ठावंत अनुयायी बी. सी. कांबळे|date=13 July 2019|website=Maharashtra Times}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://loksabhaph.nic.in/writereaddata/biodata_1_12/1206.htm|title=Members Bioprofile|website=loksabhaph.nic.in}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://marathi.thewire.in/the-story-of-chaitybhumi|title=कुळकथा चैत्यभूमीची…|website=marathi.thewire.in}}</ref>
