Ambedkar and Politics -Hardcover

Ambedkar was one of the most prominent political figures of his time. He was critical of mainstream Indian Political parties for their lack of emphasis for elimination of the caste system. He accused Gandhi for reducing the untouchable community to a figure of pathos. At a Depressed classes conference on August 8,1930 Ambedkar outlined his political vision, insisting that the safety of the Depressed classes hinged on their being Independent of Government and the Congress.
