Ambedkar's Political Philosophy

By: Manda, Ashok

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar remains a pivotal figure in Indian political history. As chief architect of the Constitution, his legacy extends beyond legal drafting to reflections on democracy, social justice, and ethical governance. This book examines Ambedkar's political philosophy and its relevance to contemporary India, focusing on debates over institutions, social equity, and constitutional values. Central to the study are his ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity, expressed through law, policy, and reform movements, along with his critique of caste, defense of marginalized rights, and embrace of Buddhism as a moral-political framework. Organized into five chapters, the book traces Ambedkar's intellectual development, his political thought, his role in constitution-making, post-independence Dalit politics, and the continuing significance of his vision for institutional reform and democratic deepening. Drawing on diverse scholarship, it offers a coherent account for students, researchers, and readers of political theory and constitutional studies.
