ANNIHILATION OF CASTE
Angebote / Angebote:
One of the most inflammatory writings of Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar, 'Annihilation of Caste'
remains a strident indictment of the Indian society and its social stratification where the lowest
segment was treated as untouchable.
A lecture that was never permitted to be given because of its incendiary nature, 'Annihilation
of Caste' was self-published and immediately became the eye of a storm. Radically against the
Brahmanical caste system and Hinduism, it argued for a society based on equal opportunities
for all.
This volume posits Ambedkar's views on caste vis-à-vis Mahatma Gandhi's 'Harijans', and
presents the debate that the two luminaries engaged in. Read in this context, the book provides
an overview of the problem of caste in India.
