One of the pillars of Indian democracy who played a pivotal role in shaping the Indian Constitution, Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar is also known for his radical, no-holds-barred views on the discrimination against the backward classes, particularly the Untouchables and the caste politics practised by Hindus.
His path-breaking ideas, most of which are relevant even today, are reflected in his writings. In the Essential Ambedkar, the finest extracts from Ambedkar’s impressive body of work have been selected and thematically arranged, covering issues such as caste and untouchability, the philosophy of the Hindu religion, the making of the Indian Constitution, the emancipation of women, India’s education policy, the Partition and much more.
Both a handy reference guide as well as a useful introduction to readers unfamiliar with Ambedkar’s works, the Essential Ambedkar is a befitting tribute to theegacy of Babasaheb.
