About this listen

The most famous speech that was never delivered, "Annihilation of Cast", by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, along with his paper Castes in India: Their Mechanism, Genesis and Development, combined to form one cohesive audiobook, the way Babasaheb envisioned it.

Acknowledgements:

Rahul Borde for his rendition of Sanskrit Verses that can be heard toward the end of "Annihilation of Cast"

I love to listen to the comprehensive work of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar. It has given me a clear picture of the cast and how to eradicate it from India. Unfortunately, people are not practically applying these principles provided by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
Big Thank you to Siddhartha Valicharla.

A great book.

This is a must read for every Indian (regardless of which era they belong to), if not for every person in the world. A great introduction into the literature around caste, Dr. Ambedkar was clearly a revolutionary of his time, and his systematic dismantling of arguments for the caste system by his adversaries is a work of marvel. This book was relevant back then, but even more now as we dwell in a world which is supposedly modern but continues to harbour such archaic practices.

Have heard AoC in another title here in audible, and this was better, for the reason the narration and intonation. Including those Sanskrit verses was very important to cite the sources. But that’s not all, this audio book includes Babasaheb’s thesis Castes in India: Genesis and Mechanism, which is a rare piece. Thank you for bringing this in audio version. Look forward to more Babasaheb’s writings in Audible

An essential listen for everyone

Ambedkar's criticism of Hinduism, to an intellectually honest man, has to be convincing. Whether you agree with his solutions or not, it is impossible to disagree with his observations of the evil doing of Caste - which is undoubtedly an integral part of Hinduism and for Hindus, consciously or subconsciously.

a NECESSARY read for all Indians - Hindu or not.
