About the author

Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was born in 1891 into an “Untouchable” family of modest means. One of India’s most radical thinkers, he transformed the social and political landscape in the struggle against British colonialism. He was a prolific writer who oversaw the drafting of the Indian Constitution and served as India’s first Law Minister. In 1935, he publicly declared that though he was born a Hindu, he would not die as one. Ambedkar eventually embraced Buddhism, a few months before his death in 1956.

Reviews

[Veeresh Nayak]

Every backward person who wants to get answer why even god wants to support varna system

[Riya Jeph]

unnecessarily long... just get to the point.

[Alex Santiago]

This book redefines the way one looks at the history of the Indian subcontinent. It's a book that's essential to understand not only the current politics of India but also to understand the reasons for the malice of our society.
