Dr B R Ambedkars contribution towards social justice a study

Abstract

The idea of Social Justice is deeply rooted in and is firmly opposed to the concept of social inequality. Social inequality was a way of life in the Indian Social order. In such a Social order a dominant minority enslaved people in the majority for perpetuating its dominance and protecting its rights and interests. Millions of people were denied their basic civil rights and were forced to lead in human life. Babasaheb Ambedkar who himself hailed from such a community, became a victim of such degraded behaviour of society. Realizing the pain and suffocation of such a stratified society he became a beacon for suppressed and deprived sections of the society. By his relentless struggle, he fought against the age-old stereotyped rigid social system and their perpetuated social evils. Babasaheb Ambedkar always emphasized creating an ideal society that must be based on a trio of liberty, equality and fraternity. newlineThe work of the researcher has been conceived as an Endeavour to see the concept of Social Justice through the prism of Babasaheb Ambedkar s vision and to throw light on his magnificent contribution towards achieving Social Justice. The motivation for taking up this topic i.e. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar s Contribution towards Social Justice: A study was twofold. Firstly to analyze the immense contribution of Dr Ambedkar in ameliorating the socio-economic conditions of deprived sections of the society that includes Scheduled castes, Women and Labour Class. Secondly to find out that how far the task of achieving Social Justice as envisioned by Babasaheb Ambedkar has been accomplished. newline newline
