"What the Communist Manifesto is to the capitalist world, Annihilation of Caste is to India." --Anand Teltumbde, author of The Persistence of Caste B.R. Ambedkar's Annihilation of Caste is one of the most important, yet neglected, works of political writing from India. Written in 1936, it is an audacious denunciation of Hinduism and its caste system. Ambedkar - a figure like W.E.B. Du Bois - offers a scholarly critique of Hindu scriptures, scriptures that sanction a rigidly hierarchical and iniquitous social system. The world's best-known Hindu, Mahatma Gandhi, responded publicly to the provocation. The hatchet was never buried. Arundhati Roy introduces this extensively annotated edition of Annihilation of Caste in "The Doctor and the Saint," examining the persistence of caste in modern India, and how the conflict between Ambedkar and Gandhi continues to resonate. Roy takes us to the beginning of Gandhi's political career in South Africa, where his views on race, caste and imperialism were shaped. She tracks Ambedkar's emergence as a major political figure in the national movement, and shows how his scholarship and intelligence illuminated a political struggle beset by sectarianism and obscurantism. Roy breathes new life into Ambedkar's anti-caste utopia, and says that without a Dalit revolution, India will continue to be hobbled by systemic inequality.… (més)

One of the most important texts I have read... ( )

I finally got the chance to read Ambedkar's work.

It all started with a Chinese English PhD student, who made a conversation on Caste System with me.

We both were having Dinner. He knew that I was from India, and brought the conversation of Caste.

Also, he was a Communist, this topic is of great interest to him. At that time, I wouldn't have been familiar with most of the history references used in this work.

As everyone, I tried the usual question, "How can we get rid of it?"

The more I explored the topic, the more I saw that I required more understanding, breadth in different fields of knowledge - Politics, Sociology, History, Anthropology, Economics.

Ambedkar, gives an outline of world history like a speech with points.

And then, gives his solution as inter-marriage and inter-dinning. I even wrote an Essay on Caste System. Perhaps in a decade with more breadth, understanding, it would be time for me to update it.

Some thoughts:

-Can Rules change human heart? Nope
-Can People be forced to treat others equally? Nope
-Can All Castes be forced to inter-marry, and inter-dine? Nope


Therefore, I am more persuaded that, he missed the problem of human nature, and change of human heart.

So Dear Reader, how do you change the human heart?

Edmund Burke says, “All men have equal rights, but not to equal things.”

Deus Vult,
Gottfried. ( )

Dr Ambedkar was a remarkable man, his clarity of thought and thorough research makes it a must read. Although one may not totally agree with his soln to the caste prob (like me), he makes an indelible mark on the reader while making a perfect case for abolition of caste. ( )
