• Dr. J. Somashekar

Modern India owes a great deal to Ambedkar's ideas. Born as an untouchable and suffering serious disabilities in the Indian society, Ambedkar rose to be "a symbol of revolt against all the oppressive features of Hindu society" as Jawahar Lal Nehru puts it. His revolt was meant to secure and defend emancipatory principles and ideals. His important concern was to ensure'Liberty, Equality and Fraternity' to the oppressed masses of India and the world in general. Ambedkar's commitment to the emancipatory philosophy was the direct consequence of his being a Untouchable and his own social status in the Indian society. Coming from a very low caste and facing many hurdles in the social, religious, political and economic fields, he devoted himself and his life to fight for justice for the suppressed and secure adequate safe quards and rights to the tyrannized people.
