This book offers a reading of Bhimrao Ambedkar's engagement with
the idea and practice of socialism in India by linking it to his
lifelong political and philosophical concerns: the annihilation of
the caste system, untouchability and the moral and philosophical
systems that justify either. Rather than view his ideas through a
socialist lens, the author suggests that it is important to measure
the validity of socialist thought and practice in the Indian
context, through his critique of the social totality. The book
argues its case by presenting a broad and connected overview of his
thought world and the global and local influences that shaped it.
The themes that are taken up for discussion include: his
understanding of the colonial rule and the colonial state; history
and progress; nationalism and the questions he posed the
socialists; his radical critique of the caste system and Brahmancal
philosophies, and his unusual interpretation of Buddhism.
