Ambedkarism

Ambedkarism is a social and political movement inspired by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, an Indian philosopher, social reformer, and the chief architect of the Indian Constitution. It advocates for the rights and equality of marginalized groups, especially the Dalits (formerly known as "untouchables"). Ambedkar emphasized social justice, individual rights, and the importance of education. His ideas challenge caste discrimination and promote a more equitable society. Ambedkarism also encourages the critique of traditional Hindu social structures and promotes alternative social models, including Buddhism as a path to liberation and empowerment for oppressed communities.
