Sohal Lal Sampla, a true Ambedkrite and Buddhist migrated to Britian in 1974 and lived in Bedford till 1975 before permanently migrating to German in 1984. In his stay at Bedford, United Kingdom, he met Chanan Chahal, Rattan Lal Sampla. Chanan Chahal was working in the Federation of Ambedkarite and Buddhist organisations (FABO) and spreading the message of Baba Saheb Dr. with other prominent Ambedkarites & Buddhists in the United Kingdom.

Before migrating to United Kingdom, Sohan Lal Sampla, Bodh Raj Sampla, Prakash Sampla along with other 51 active members of Republican Party of India(RPI) participated in 1964 agitation.

The Prime Minister accepted the demands of the RPI. Due to this agitation, land was distributed among landless Dalits in Punjab which was one of the agenda of the agitation. It is informed to the readers that there were 03 MLAs. Ministers were there from the RPI quota.

There is misperception that the people of India came to know about Baba Saheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar after 1984. This is totally untrue. This type of mischievous propaganda is spread by politically unsuccessful, highly selfish, greedy leaders from one Dalit party who are neither true Ambedkarite nor Buddhist.

Lahori Ram Balley reproduced the literature of Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar through Bheem Patrika Publications, Jalandhar which was established in 1958. The literature helped in spreading the name of Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar from Punjab to various states of India.
