It was here 20 years ago that Derdak co-founded a school named after B R Ambedkar, who never visited Hungary. Today, an Ambedkar statue stands near the building of Dr Ambedkar School. "Ambedkar's life story is a fairytale for the Roma community," says Derdak, referring to the long-oppressed ethnic group the school serves.
