Baba Saheb B. R. Ambedkar, Justice K. Ramaswamy and Rohith Vemula (A Study in the National Perspective)

Language: English. ABOUT THE BOOK: The book is full of brain storming positive and constructive ideas for all social reformers who try for social equality, harmony and brotherhood; for government policy makers, who intend to give meaning to the constitutional commitments with a view to serve the nation; for victims of the graded Indian society to take lessonful inspiration from the struggle, achievement and unparallelled contribution in the nation building and establishment of socioeconomic justice oriented society, of Dr. Ambedkar and Justice K. Ramaswamy and for upper class people to rethink over Mahatma Gandhi’s ideological commitment towards untouchables to ensure respectable life to them in our Hindufold so as to ensure equal participation of all in the nation building and have introspection as losses done in the history due to our graded division. It has message for academicians who have power of pen which is said to be mightier than sword, to start a fresh reconciliatory approachment between the two haters of the practice of untouchability, dehumanizing some people only on ground of birth and lover of humanity, justice and equality the father of the Nation and the father of the Constitution. It may invite attention of all to brood over the national profit and loss. Birth is not the basis of our consideration of social behaviour and worth is given precedence as our founding fathers of the constitution adopted Ashoka’s Dharmachakra as our symbol of national honour (though he was Shudra by caste). It may also provide inspiration to think patiently how much our Indian society would have benefitted had Shambboka not been beheaded, Eklabyas’s thumb would not have been cut and Rohith Vemula would have been allowed to blossom? With its interdisciplinary dimension the Book is equally valuable for politicosocial thinkers, policy makers and personnel involved in the governance of the country, and also the students, researchers and teachers in the discipline of Law, Political Science, Sociology and Social Anthropology.
