ABSTRACT
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, a towering figure in India’s social and political history, dedicated his life to dismantling the caste-based injustices entrenched in Indian society. This article explores Ambedkar’s concept of social justice, focusing on his relentless advocacy for the rights and dignity of oppressed communities, particularly the Dalits, Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and other marginalized groups. It examines the historical origins of untouchability, the constitutional safeguards he championed, and their relevance in contemporary India. Despite significant legal and policy advancements, systemic inequalities persist, highlighting the state’s challenges in fully realizing Ambedkar’s vision. The article underscores the importance of social consciousness and comprehensive reforms to achieve an egalitarian society rooted in liberty, equality, and fraternity.
