B.R. Ambedkar
“Religion does not compel the Non-Hindus to take the same attitude towards caste. If Hindus wish to break caste, their religion will come in their way. But it will not be so in the case of Non-Hindus. It is, therefore, a dangerous delusion to take comfort in the mere existence of caste among Non-Hindus, without caring to know what place caste occupies in their life and whether there are other “organic filaments”, which subordinate the feeling of caste to the feeling of community. The sooner the Hindus are cured of this delusion the better.”
B.R Ambedkar, Annihilation Of Caste

“योsवमन्येत ते मूले हेतुशास्त्राश्रयात् द्विजः ।
स साधुभिर्बहिष्कार्यो नास्तिको वेदनिन्दकः ।।
According to this rule, rationalism as a canon of interpreting the Vedas and Smritis, is absolutely condemned. It is regarded to be as wicked as atheism and the punishment provided for it is ex-communication.”
B.R. Ambedkar, Annihilation of Caste

B.R. Ambedkar
“There is no doubt, in my opinion, that unless you change your social order you can achieve little by way of progress. You cannot mobilize the community either for defence or for offence. You cannot build anything on the foundations of caste. You cannot build up a nation, you cannot build up a morality. Anything that you will build on the foundations of caste will crack and will never be a whole.”
B.R Ambedkar, Annihilation Of Caste

B.R. Ambedkar
“Now the first thing that is to be urged against this view is that the caste system is not merely a division of labour. It is also a division of labourers56.”
B.R. Ambedkar, Annihilation of Caste by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar: A Bold Critique of Social Hierarchies

B.R. Ambedkar
“The Hindus hold to the sacredness of the social order. Caste has a divine basis. You must therefore destroy the sacredness and divinity with which Caste has become invested. In the last analysis, this means you must destroy the authority of the Shastras and the Vedas.”
B.R. Ambedkar, Annihilation of Caste
