Dr Sunita

Abstract :

 Bharat Ratna Dr. B.R. Ambedkar (1891-1956), affectionately known as Babasaheb Ambedkar, was undoubtedly one of the illustrious son of India. He appeared on the Indian socio-political scene in the early 1920s and remained at the forefront of the social, cultural, economic and political transformation of India during the closing decades of the British Rule. After India got freedom in 1947, Dr. Ambedkar played a very significant role in laying the foundation of modern India till his death in 1956. Dr. Ambedkar was a great social reformer, a valiant champion of Social Justice and an emancipator of the downtrodden masses of India, who dedicated all his life to awaken the social conscience of modern India. Dr. Ambedkar thought that all types of oppressions, denial, exploitation and injustices can be removed by the state. In this regard he made many provisions in constitution of India for SC/ST/OBC/Religious minorities, women and children and State has been given duty and responsibility of protecting, promoting and safeguarding the interest of weaker sections of society. But, more than six decades experiences show that unfortunately state has been failed to protect and safeguard the interest of weaker sections of society. In this paper Dr. Ambedkar’s views on social justice, challenges before it in present era of globalization and options of realizing Dr. Ambedkar’s dream of social justice are discussed.
