Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: शूद्रों का प्राचीन इतिहास प्रख्यात इतिहासकार प्रो– रामशरण शर्मा की अत्यंत मूल्यवान कृति है । शूद्रों की स्थिति को लेकर इससे पूर्व जो कार्य हुआ है, उसमें तटस्थ और तलस्पर्शी दृष्टि का प्राय% अभाव दिखाई देता है । ऐसे कार्य में कहीं ‘शूद्र’ शब्द के दार्शनिक आधार की व्याख्या–भर मिलती है, तो कहीं धर्मसूत्रों में शूद्रों के स्थान कीय कहीं शूद्रों के गुलाम नहीं होने को सिद्ध किया गया है, तो कहीं उनके उच्चवर्गीय होने को । कुछ अध्ययनों में प्राचीन भारत के श्रमशील वर्ग से संबद्ध सूचनाओं का संकलन–भर हुआ है । दूसरे शब्दों में कहें तो ऐसे अध्ययनों में विभिन्न परिस्थितियों में पैदा हुई उन पेचीदगियों की प्राय% उपेक्षा कर दी गई है, जिनके चलते शूद्र नामक श्रमजीवी वर्ग का निर्माण हुआ । कहना न होगा कि यह कृति उक्त तमाम एकांगिताओं अथवा प्राचीन भारतीय जीवन के पहलुओं पर ध्यान केंद्रित करने की प्रकृति से मुक्त है । लेखक के शब्दों में कहें तो ‘‘प्रस्तुत गं्रथ की रचना का उद्देश्य प्राचीन भारत में शूद्रों की स्थिति का विस्तृत विवेचन करना मात्र नहीं, बल्कि उसके ऐसे आधुनिक विवरणों का मूल्यांकन करना भी है जो या तो अपर्याप्त आँकड़ों के आधार पर अथवा सुधारवादी या सुधारविरोधी भावनाओं से प्रेरित होकर लिखे गए हैं ।’’ संक्षेप में, प्रो– शर्मा की यह कृति ऋग्वैदिक काल से लेकर करीब 500 ई– तक हुए शूद्रों के विकास को सुसंबद्ध तरीके से सामने रखती है । शूद्र चूँकि श्रमिक वर्ग के थे, अत% यहाँ उनकी आर्थिक स्थिति और उच्च वर्ग के साथ उनके समाजार्थिक रिश्तों के स्वरूप की पड़ताल के साथ–साथ दासों और अछूतों की उत्पत्ति एवं स्थिति की भी विस्तार से चर्चा की गई है ।

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present work has been undertaken not only to provide an adequate treatment of the position of the sudras in ancient times, but also to evaluate their modern characterizations, either based on insufficient data, or inspired by reformist or anti-reformist motives. Here an attempt has been made to present a connected and systematic account of the various developments in the position of the sudras down to circa A.D. 600. Since the sudras were regarded as the laboring class, in this study particular attention has been paid to the investigation of their material conditions has been paid to their economic and social relations with the members of the higher varnas. This has naturally involved the study of the position of slaves, with whom the sudras were considered identical. The untouchables are also theoretically placed in the category of sudras, and hence their origin and position has also been discussed in some detail.

The book is dedicated to Jyotirao Phule and seeks to dispel the idea that in India, Shudras are an untouchable caste. Ambedkar references Indian texts such as The Vedas and Mahabharata, among others, to suggest that the Shudras were really Aryan rulers who were demoted to a lower caste after a protracted struggle with the Brahmans. Ambedkar also analyses the Aryan race theory and disagrees with the widely accepted Indo-Aryan migration narrative in the history of the race. The book debunks beliefs and ideas and aims to foster compassion for a caste in India that is misunderstood and mistreated.

Download or read book Annihilation of Caste written by B.R. Ambedkar and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “What the Communist Manifesto is to the capitalist world, Annihilation of Caste is to India.” —Anand Teltumbde, author of The Persistence of Caste The classic work of Indian Dalit politics, reframed with an extensive introduction by Arundathi Roy B.R. Ambedkar’s Annihilation of Caste is one of the most important, yet neglected, works of political writing from India. Written in 1936, it is an audacious denunciation of Hinduism and its caste system. Ambedkar – a figure like W.E.B. Du Bois – offers a scholarly critique of Hindu scriptures, scriptures that sanction a rigidly hierarchical and iniquitous social system. The world’s best-known Hindu, Mahatma Gandhi, responded publicly to the provocation. The hatchet was never buried. Arundhati Roy introduces this extensively annotated edition of Annihilation of Caste in “The Doctor and the Saint,” examining the persistence of caste in modern India, and how the conflict between Ambedkar and Gandhi continues to resonate. Roy takes us to the beginning of Gandhi’s political career in South Africa, where his views on race, caste and imperialism were shaped. She tracks Ambedkar’s emergence as a major political figure in the national movement, and shows how his scholarship and intelligence illuminated a political struggle beset by sectarianism and obscurantism. Roy breathes new life into Ambedkar’s anti-caste utopia, and says that without a Dalit revolution, India will continue to be hobbled by systemic inequality.
