Produktbeschreibung
Evils like rigid caste system and religious fanaticism have existed in India since a long time. Dr B.R. Ambedkar has accomplished a tremendous work out of making the voices of the people of the scheduled caste heard. He has been one of the social reformers who stood fearlessly against so many difficulties but only spoke what was stark reality. This made everyone sit up and take note of how a stagnant way of dividing the society was keeping the country away for accelerating on the path to progress. With the help of this book, he has tried to bring about a clarity in the concept that the origin of caste system was based on the idea of division of labour, but over a period of time it has become so rigid that it has established itself as a hierarchy and now it is simply division of labourers.

Autorenporträt
Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (14 April 1891 - 6 December 1956), popularly known as Babasaheb, was an Indian jurist, economist, politician and social reformer who inspired the Modern Buddhist Movement and campaigned against social discrimination in India, striving for equal social rights or Dalits, women and labour. He was independent India's first law minister and the principal architect of the Constitution of India. Ambedkar was a prolific student, earning a law degree and various doctorates from Columbia University and the London School of Economics, and gained a reputation as a scholar for his research in law, economics and political science. In his early career he was an economist, professor, and lawyer. His later life was marked by his political activities, where he became involved in the negotiations for India's independence campaigning by publishing journals advocating political rights and social freedom for untouchables and contributing significantly to the establishment of the state of India. In 1956 he converted to Buddhism, initiating mass conversions of Dalits. In 1990, Ambedkar was posthumously conferred with the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award. Ambedkar's legacy includes numerous memorials and depictions in popular culture.
