''Each caste is conscious of its existence. Its survival is the be all and end all of its existence.' Originally written as a speech for the Jat-Pat Todak Mandal in 1936, The Annihilation of Caste by Dr BR Ambedkar is a revolutionary manifesto and one of the most powerful critiques of India's caste system. While it was never delivered due to its controversial content, it boldly challenged both Hindu orthodoxy and the very foundation of caste-based social stratification. A visionary reformer and architect of the Indian Constitution, Ambedkar dissects the roots of caste oppression, highlighting how religion, tradition, and societal norms perpetuate inequality and injustice. Arguing with unwavering logic, uncompromising clarity, and profound moral reasoning for the complete eradication of caste, he rejects superficial reforms and makes a compelling case for social equality, liberty, and fraternity. The book remains a timeless and urgent call to action, resonating even today with those who seek to challenge oppression and imagine a just society. It is a landmark in Indian socio-political thought and a universal testament to humanity’s fight for dignity and justice.
