Ambedkar Classic, Annihilation of Caste


Annihilation of Caste is a classic work by Dr. Ambedkar. It embodies the thoughts of a revolutionary of how caste and religion abuses individuals - socially, ethically, and financially. Initially imagined as a speech for Jat-Pat-Todak Mandal, an association of Caste Hindu Social Reformers, it was later published by Ambedkar himself, for the association wouldn't permit him to give his speech in its original form. 

Clear, direct, and ground-breaking, the text gives a careful knowledge of how and in what way does caste torment the lives of millions. There is a fundamental resentment coordinated towards long periods of ridiculous foul play. 

The most despicable aspect of Hinduism is the way, that both the way of thinking and religion is so unpredictably weaved around its center belief system. In spite of the fact that caste has been protested by numerous leaders and contemporaries already before Ambedkar, from Raja Ram Mohan Roy to Mahatma Gandhi, it has consistently sprung back with a revived power, for it got its root from the crucial way of thinking of the Hinduism. What is progressively ongoing and unstoppably fearless about Ambedkar and this work is that he addresses the very authority of the vedas, upanishads and manusmritis itself.
