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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The little-known story of Gandhi’s reluctance to challenge the caste system, and the man who fought fiercely for India’s downtrodden. Democracy hasn’t eradicated caste, argues bestselling author and Booker Prize–winner Arundhati Roy—it has entrenched and modernized it. To understand caste today in India, Roy insists we must examine the influence of Gandhi in shaping what India ultimately became: independent of British rule, globally powerful, and marked to this day by the caste system. Roy states that for more than a half century, Gandhi’s pronouncements on the inherent qualities of black Africans, Dalit “untouchables,” and the laboring classes remained consistently insulting, and he also refused to allow lower castes to create their own political organizations and elect their own representatives. But there was someone else who had a larger vision of justice—a founding father of the republic and the chief architect of its constitution. In The Doctor and the Saint, Roy introduces us to this contemporary of Gandhi, B.R. Ambedkar, who challenged the thinking of the time and fought to promote not merely formal democracy, but liberation from the oppression, shame, and poverty imposed on millions of Indians by an archaic caste system. This is a fascinating and surprising look at two men—one of whom has become a worldwide symbol and the other of whom remains unfamiliar to most outside his native country. Praise for Arundhati Roy “Arundhati Roy is incandescent in her brilliance and her fearlessness.” —Junot Díaz “The fierceness with which Arundhati Roy loves humanity moves my heart.” —Alice Walker

Download or read book Dr Ambedkar and Untouchability written by Christophe Jaffrelot and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For years Ambedkar battled alone against the Indian political establishment, including Gandhi, who resisted his attempt to formalize and codify a separate identity for the Dalits. Nonetheless, he became law minister in the first government of independent India and, more important, was elected chairman of the committee which drafted the Indian Constitution. Here he modified Gandhian attempts to influence the Indian polity. He then distanced himself from politics and sought solace in Buddhism, to which he converted in 1956, a few months before his death." "Jaffrelot focuses on Ambedkar's three key roles: as social theorist, as statesman and politician, and as an advocate of conversion to Buddhism as an escape route for India's Dalits. In each case he pioneered new strategies that proved effective in his lifetime and still resonate today."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maharaja Sayajirao Gaikwad, known as ‘Education is the only tool for change.’ He gave scholarships to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar from degree to higher education. Scholarships were given from Baroda for three years for degree, two years for M.A., one year after graduation and once again for one year, four times for seven years. The rule of Baroda government was to give scholarship only once to any student. For Dr. Ambedkar, Maharaj broke this rule not once but thrice. Dr. Ambedkar was getting scholarships from Baroda till he completed his education. On the same scholarship, Dr. Ambedkar completed his education. Not only did he complete it, but he also acquired the knowledge to show the light in the life of the untouchables. Later, Sayajirao Maharaj forgave all these scholarships. That is to say, one realizes the great contribution of Sayajirao Maharaj in creating an epoch-maker. Taking the opportunity, Dr. Ambedkar took higher education. After that, the work done for social reform and the work done for the constitution are well known. So if we want to look at their greatness, we need to look at the hard work of today's youth, not just the fame they have gained or their degrees. Today, Indians, especially the youth, are in dire need of emulating their hard work, not just how long they have studied. The sculptor of the Indian Constitution, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was an eloquent speaker. He gave speeches on various topics from time to time for social enlightenment and social change as well as to change the minds of the people. That speech had the power of social change. Every word that came out of their mouths was weighty. Was a reality show. His speech threatened to destroy many years of tradition, superstition, and thousands of years of slavery. It takes strength, power and knowledge to break the fourfold system. That is why his speeches were written in golden letters in modern Indian history. Dr. When Ambedkar stood up to give a speech, the listener, who was listening to his speech, would keep quiet enough to make a noise. So the average listener sitting in any corner could hear his words. His patient voice sounded like an unbroken stream. Therefore, the desire to change oneself was naturally created in the minds of the common people. In short, Dr. Ambedkar’s thoughts were sky-rocketing and far ahead of time. Therefore, their speeches have become immortal. In such speeches, he spoke many times about the universal and triune truth. The grief-stricken people were blown away by the grief. Showed the untouchables a golden way to live. He always insisted that what is ours should be acquired by right. If not, he was ready to fight, satyagraha and climb on time. For this, he presented his solid views in front of everyone, regardless of who he was, in his speeches on various occasions. Many such original thoughts have been compiled in this short book. Though he gave speeches on occasion, it was full of thought. This wealth of Dr. Ambedkar’s thoughts is homogeneous, homogeneous and unbroken. There is no break in it. But for the convenience of the reader, it is divided into thirty important parts. Even when divided, the question often arises as to which area to place a particular thought. To take an example for this, while talking about the issue of untouchability, many issues like poverty of Hindustan, poverty of people, Chaturvarnya come up in it. So the question arises as to where exactly this idea should be placed. But in order to maintain homogeneity and coherence in their thoughts, the thoughts have been given together without much division. So there is a monotony in reading. These thoughts of Dr. Ambedkar are taken from the volumes of his Marathi speeches. It has been translated into English. There may be a syntactic difference between some of the original English speech ideas and the ideas in the presented collection; But that is the essence of the original thought. I think this book should be the inspiration for everyone working in various fields.
