Professor Sayeed argues that readings of\u003cem\u003e Annihilation of Caste\u003c\/em\u003e have often obscured or twisted its core. Biographical interpretations deploying Ambedkar’s identity, and historical expositions drawing on circumstances in Ambedkar’s time, have distorted the spirit and import of his unambiguous condemnation of caste.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy reflecting on a single seminal piece and offering an alternative view of it, this book shows the far-reaching implications and continuing relevance of Ambedkar’s thought – including for a proper perspective on Hindu nationalism. It shows the directions away from Ambedkar that caste politics and identity patrons have increasingly taken.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs against Mahatma Gandhi who advocated caste reform, Ambedkar believed genuine democracy was impossible without the eradication of caste. In clarifying their different approaches to aspects of Hinduism, this book helps us focus on the Indian future that Ambedkar himself desired.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orient Blackswan Pvt Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45616514564247,"sku":"9788178246642","price":417.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788178246642.webp?v=1769294995","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/understanding-b-r-ambedkars-annihilation-of-caste-with-the-full-text-of-annihilation-of-caste-9788178246642","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
