Annihilation of Caste by B.R. Ambedkar
5.0
Annihilation of caste is a reasonable, rational and very real piece of literature. I have learned a lot and the book provides a brilliant articulation of how to counter many irrational arguments that are thrown against anti-caste, pro-minority narratives. Ambedkar was an intelligent and brave man who spoke his truth fearlessly.
He provides a perspective that is very different and almost antidotal to the systemic poison that plagues our society and our constitution. It is wrongly positioned as an affront on hinduism. It challenges the Hindu society I an attempt to improve it rather than apologize or rationalize for it. Hinduism is a religion without a rulebook which is why there are so many rulebooks that are manipulated as propaganda. This book questions that as one should. The modern society is both worst and better than the society we left behind. We have to be able to question it, mould it and make the society a more equitable one, with equality as a guiding principle. I would recommend anyone and everyone to read this speech, this book and to get to know Ambedkar.
