Description
B.R. Ambedkar's Annihilation of Caste is a seminal work of political writing from India, first published in 1936. In this groundbreaking text, Ambedkar critiques the Hindu scriptures that underpin a rigidly hierarchical and unjust social system. His scholarly analysis offers a powerful challenge to the dominant ideology of his time. The book's provocative critique of Hinduism and its caste system sparked a public response from Mahatma Gandhi, who publicly addressed Ambedkar's work. This edition presents Ambedkar's original text in English, providing readers with access to this important and influential work. With 146 pages and a paperback binding, Annihilation of Caste is a concise and thought-provoking exploration of social inequality and the need for reform.
