By Bhalchandra Mungekar

One of the pillars of Indian democracy who played a pivotal role in shaping the Indian Constitution Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar is also known for his radical no-holds-barred views on the discrimination against the backward classes particularly the Untouchables and the caste politics practised by Hindus. His path-breaking ideas most of which are relevant even today are reflected in his writings. In the Essential Ambedkar the finest extracts from Ambedkar's impressive body of work have been selected and thematically arranged covering issues such as caste and untouchability the philosophy of the Hindu religion the making of the Indian Constitution the emancipation of women India's education policy the Partition and much more. Both a handy reference guide as well as a useful introduction to readers unfamiliar with Ambedkar's works the Essential Ambedkar is a befitting tribute to the legacy of Babasaheb.
