Dr Bhimrao R. Ambedkar (1891-1956) was one of India's greatest
intellectuals and social reformers; his political ideas continue to
inspire and mobilise some of the world's poorest and most socially
disadvantaged, in India and the global Indian diaspora. Ambedkar's
thought on labour, legal rights, women's rights, education, caste,
political representation and the economy are international in
importance. This book explores his lesser-known period of
London-based study and publication during the early 1920s,
presenting that experience as a lens for thinking about Ambedkar's
global intellectual significance. Some of his later canon on caste,
and Dalit rights and representation, was rooted in and shaped by
his earlier work around the economy, governance, labour and
representation during his time as a law student and as a doctoral
candidate at the London School of Economics. The Indian diaspora in
the UK is the country's single largest national minority. This
volume connects Ambedkar's influence during his lifetime, and his
legacy today, to this early phase of his career and intellectual
life in London, and its immediate aftermath. It contains new
material on the establishment of the city's Ambedkar Museum,
explores Britain's Ambedkarite movement, and charts the campaign to
outlaw caste discrimination in the UK.
