Annihilation of Caste: The Annotated Critical Edition by B.R. Ambedkar

challenging informative reflective fast-paced

4.5

I'm glad I read this book as part of a read along suggested by other bloggers. Being an Indian, I'm surprised that this book wasn't a part of the regular course material growing up. But then, if you read the footnotes in the book, you'll be even more surprised with the omissions of certain facts and backgrounds and philosophies of our admired leaders, that we studied in history and civics.

In this book of his undelivered speech, Dr. Ambedkar has made some compelling arguments regarding the annihilation of caste system in India and how that can actually help our country become stronger. A worthwhile read.
