Dr. Bhimrao Ramji (Babasaheb) Ambedkar is seen in many lights, such as the champion of the Dalit cause, a traditional reformer, an anthropologist, a political leader, a constitutionalist, a historian, and many more. However, his intellectual acumen cannot be condensed into a few terms; because all his strides in life were in itself an igneous testament of time. Babasaheb Dr. Ambedkar’s ideal revolved around the notion of providing social justice to the “the last, the lost and the least”, since he supposed that there could be no successful nation lest every individual within it were equal. Being a politician from the marginalised sect, he was also most critical of the mainstream political discourses due to the lack of minority representations at the higher levels. His ideas and philosophies are still ignored by the academic sphere, citing them as too polemic. But upon further detailed research, his life can be divided into eight folds which have invoked myriad approaches toward nation-building. Babasaheb Dr. Ambedkar’s work shaped the contours of modern India which offers this collection of vantage points for continual reflection on concerns of social justice and its relation to other values. This is predominantly pertinent or might be indispensable, in contemporary times, not only in India but also across the world. |
