Shanti Swaroop Bauddh was born on 2 October 1949, when his name was kept to Gulab Singh. On 4 October 1949, Babasaheb Ambedkar suggested to change the name from Gulab Singh to Shanti Swaroop. At the suggestion of Ambedkar, Chaudhary changed the name of his grandson from Gulab Singh to Shanti Swaroop. After Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar's initiation into Buddhism, Shanti Swaroop accepted 'Buaddh' (बौद्ध, also transliterated as Buadh) name as his surname. He became a Buddhist inspired by Ambedkar.
