Dr. B.R. Ambedkar a visionary leader, social reformer, and the Chief architect of the Indian Constitution, is renowned for his relentless fight against caste discrimination and his advocacy for social justice. His works reflect his deep commitment to the emancipation of marginalized communities, especially the Dalits. In the Untouchables : Who were they and why they became Untouchables ? Ambedkar examines the historical roots of untouchability, offering a critical analysis of how certain groups became socially ostracized. Annihilation of caste, perhaps his most influential work, is a scathing critique of the caste system and a call for its complete abolition.
