Dr. AMBEDKAR'S THOUGHTS ON POLITICS

Dr. A. Jyothi

Abstract :

Ambedkar’s political thought is still very relevant to not only to the politics of India but also to politics in South Asia in general. B.R.Ambedkar was a representative figure of Indian Politics in the Gandhian era. Ambedkar pointed out that though the Caste Hindu Congressmen adopted a radical stand in politics, in social matters they were traditionalists and upheld social inequality. The political philosophy of Ambedkar may aid in renegotiating the predicament of western political theory in particular and leading the fights of the masses in general. Ambedkar‘s thought, as reproduced in his writings and speeches, has great prominence in drawing the history and growth of social thought in India. It is essential to understand the philosophy of Ambedkar which is the theoretical foundation for the Dalit movement. The central of political thinking of Ambedkar is enclosed in two of his statements, the rights are protected not by law but by social and moral conscience of society, and a democratic form of government presumes a democratic form of society.
