Publisher's Summary

Ambedkar’s India is a collection of three of B.R. Ambedkar’s most prominent speeches on caste and the Indian Constitution.

'In the fight for Swaraj, you fight with the whole nation on your side. In fighting caste system, you stand against the whole nation - and that too, your own.'

'Annihilation of Caste' is one of Ambedkar’s best works in putting together how caste as a system has been eating up the roots of a rich cultural melting pot like India.

'Bhakti in religion could lead to salvation. But in politics, Bhakti is a sure road to eventual dictatorship.'

'The Grammar of Anarchy' reflects Ambedkar’s ideas on how we need to pave the way for Independent India. It reflects his deep love and aspirations for India and its people.

'...the sub-divisions [of caste] have lost the open-door character of the class system, and have become self-enclosed units called castes.'

'Castes in India: Their Mechanism, Genesis and Development' is an in-depth study of how classes went on to become castes and sub-castes to dot the Indian social system. This powerful narrative is a radical eye-opener.

An insightful enquiry on the subject of castes

The audio book wonderfully encompasses the monumental works of Dr B R Ambedkar like the Annihilation of Castes and his views on the Origins and Genesis of castes in India. His views has yet not been either negated or challenged by any other sociologist or anthropologist. A worth listening to book.

Must read for every Indian

Such an eye opener about India and Indians. Had it on a to read list forever but finally managed to read it because of Audible. It explains the hypocrisy of the Indian elite in all aspects of society and so many other uncomfortable truths.
