The life of Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (14 April 1891 - 6 December 1956) is a saga of his rise from dust to glory and from the lowest social hierarchical order to the position of the ‘architect of Indian Constitution’ for which the University of Columbia conferred on him the degree of LL.D (honoris causa) in 1952. It also provides insight into his long and often bitter struggle for breaking the tyranny of caste in Hindu society and raising the position of the down-trodden.
Dr. Ambedkar’s vision of Social Justice emanates from his quest for a ‘Just Society’, which is based on the idea of a casteless society. It was his constant search for a just social order, incredible hard work and unflinching belief in self help and self dependence that look him to the infallible heights where he had to be acknowledged and recognized by one and all as the crusader against the social evils, the liberator of the down trodden and also the architect of the Indian Constitution.The Indian society of Dr. Ambedkar’s time denied equality by granting special privileges to Brahmins and other higher castes and denying the shudras the right to own property and to educate and protect them. They did not have liberty to read, write, worship and also to pursue a vocation and own property. In the absence of freedom and equality, the social system encouraged confinement and compartmentalization. As a result, there was complete absence of fraternity besides equality and liberty - the trinity which constitute social justice in the views of Dr. Ambedkar. He firmly believed that justice couldn’t be conceived in absence of any of the three.
In this special commemorative volume of ‘World Focus’ on Dr. B. R. Ambedkar & Social Justice: National and Global Perspective, an effort has been made to explore Dr. Ambedkar’s ideas for bringing out the essence of his visionary conceptualization of social justice and their relevance in contemporary national and global scenario through an analysis of his various theoretical propositions, which are dispersed in his writings on caste system, Hindu social order, equality, liberty, fraternity, human rights, social democracy, law, religion, the State and the minorities. The aim is to locate these ideas on a systematic terrain as well as to critically assess them in the contemporary context.
Recalling Dr. Ambdekar’s struggle for Social Justice, both in pre-Independent India, and in the Constituent Assembly and more importantly to ponder over its continued relevance today is always a rewarding and satisfying exercise. A modest effort has been made here to put together the immensely relevant yet highly comprehensive views of Dr. Ambedkar as brought out by the contributors to this volume so as to construct his vision of social justice in the contemporary national and global perspective.
