AMBEDKAR’S CASTE IDEOLOGY IN HIS WRITINGS AND SPEECHES

Abstract

As an intellectual, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar belongs to the category of analysts who enter into the socio-cultural set ups with a vision that is more prophetic in nature. Philosophers and thinkers in each era, raise questions and most of the times they come with solutions for developing a new understanding towards already existing institutions. These solutions are also reformative ideas that are based on strong philosophical arguments. Usually, their visions are not self-born but are developed through certain arguments and ideas that have influenced their visions in the early stages of their own understanding of the existing institutions and development sectors. The analysis here is to understand the argument that Ambedkar gave to the challenge the orthodox systems and also suggested a new world that can be re-established on the strong innovative and rational ideas and values.
