Q.
3. What were the views of Ambedkar on caste system in India? Discuss
critically.
Ans.
Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (14 April, 1891–6
December, 1956), also known as Babasaheb, was an Indian jurist, political
leader, Buddhist activist, philosopher, thinker, anthropologist, historian,
orator, prolific writer, economist, scholar, editor, revolutionary and a
revivalist for Buddhism in India. He was also the chief architect of the Indian
Constitution. Born into a poor Mahar, then Untouchable, family, Ambedkar spent
his whole life fighting against social discrimination, the system of
Chaturvarna – the categorization of Hindu society into four varnas – and the
Hindu caste system. He is also credited with providing a spark for the conversion
of hundreds of thousands of Dalits with his Ambedkar(ite) Buddhism. Ambedkar
has been honoured with the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian award.
