"Annihilation of Caste" is a groundbreaking work of political and social criticism written by the Indian intellectual and social reformer, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. The book is a powerful critique of the caste system in India and its oppressive effects on the country's marginalized communities.

Ambedkar was himself born into a lower-caste family and faced discrimination and prejudice throughout his life. In "Annihilation of Caste", he argues that the caste system is not just a social hierarchy, but a system of oppression that denies millions of people their basic human rights.

The book is divided into two parts. The first part is Ambedkar's original speech on the subject, which he was prevented from delivering at a public event due to opposition from upper-caste leaders. The second part is a detailed response to criticisms of the speech, in which Ambedkar further develops his arguments and responds to his critics.

"Annihilation of Caste" is a powerful and provocative book that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about social hierarchy and justice. Ambedkar's writing is clear and incisive, and his arguments are supported by a wealth of historical and philosophical insights.

The book remains a landmark work of Indian political and social thought, and its relevance and importance continue to be felt today. Whether you're interested in Indian history, social justice, or political philosophy, "Annihilation of Caste" is a must-read book that will challenge and inspire you.

Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (14 April 1891 – 6 December 1956) was an Indian jurist, economist, social reformer and political leader who headed the committee drafting the Constitution of India from the Constituent Assembly debates, served as Law and Justice minister in the first cabinet of Jawaharlal Nehru, and inspired the Dalit Buddhist movement after renouncing Hinduism.

After graduating from Elphinstone College, University of Bombay, Ambedkar studied economics at Columbia University and the London School of Economics, receiving doctorates in 1927 and 1923, respectively, and was among a handful of Indian students to have done so at either institution in the 1920s.[3] He also trained in the law at Gray's Inn, London. In his early career, he was an economist, professor, and lawyer. His later life was marked by his political activities; he became involved in campaigning and negotiations for partition, publishing journals, advocating political rights and social freedom for Dalits, and contributing to the establishment of the state of India. In 1956, he converted to Buddhism, initiating mass conversions of Dalits.[4]

In 1990, the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award, was posthumously conferred on Ambedkar. The salutation Jai Bhim (lit. "Hail Bhim") used by followers honours him. He is also referred to by the nickname Babasaheb (BAH-bə SAH-hayb), meaning "Respected Father".

Transcending the Caste System

I have read the book with great interest. I agree with his views on varna-ashrama dharma-the caste system of Hinduism. Annihilation may be very strong word. I prefer the word Transcending. His analysis is brilliant and his arguments well founded. He might have found support for his arguments on the place of the authority of the sashras-sruthi and smriti in Mandukya Upanishad which divides wisdom into para vidhya(superior wisdom) and apara vidhya(inferior wisdom). To apara vidhya belong Vedas(sruthi) and other scriptures(smriti). So scriptures are inferior wisdom. It means one can go beyond the authority of the sashras. It means a Hindu can go beyond the authority of the sashras, that is para vidhya, the direct experience of God.
I like his proposition of universal values like freedom, equality and fraternity which are the foundation of French Republic. He has a brilliant mind and shows the weak points of Mahatma Gandhi's reactions tk his views. On the whole I enjoyed reading this book and I am happy to know the great person Dr. Ambedkar.
