Babasaheb Ambedkar is one of the foremost thinkers of modern India. His thought is centrally concerned with issues of freedom, human equality, empowerment of downtrodden, democracy and socio- political emancipation. He is a unique thinker of the world who himself suffered much humiliation, poverty and social stigma, right form his childhood, yet he rose to great educational and philosophical heights. He was a revolutionary social reformer who demonstrated great faith in democracy and the moral basis of a society. He was one of the principal critics of India's national movement led by M.K.Gandhi. He built civic and political institutions in India and criticized ideologies and institutions that degraded and enslaved people. He undertook several major studies on the economy, social structures and institution, law and constitutionalism, history and religion with methodological rigour and reflexivity. He was the chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Indian Constitution and defended its key provisions with scholarly precision and sustained arguments without losing sight of the ideals it upheld while, at the same time, holding firmly to the ground. He embraced Buddhism, recasting it to respond to modern and socially emancipatory urges, with hundreds of thousands of his followers and paved the way for its resurgence in Modern India.
