B. R. Ambedkar's Annihilation of Caste

B. R. Ambedkar’s “Annihilation of Caste” is a powerful critique of the Indian caste system, which divides society into hierarchical groups leading to discrimination and inequality. Ambedkar argues that caste is a major barrier to social justice and must be abolished to ensure true equality and dignity for all. The essay challenges religious, social, and political establishments that support caste divisions, urging reforms and a shift toward merit-based and inclusive systems. Ultimately, it advocates for removing caste-based identity and discrimination to build a fairer, more equitable society.
