Abstract

Ambedkar's philosophy has been a very influencing factor in emergence of modern India. Ambedkar had brought to the four the denial, deprivation and subjugation of depressed classes and making them untouchables. Ambedkar believed in the concept that an ounce of practice is better than pound of theory. He believed in not mere philosophical expositions but translation of these into the practical social life with the aim of transformation of society. This presentation brings out how Dr. B. R. Ambedkar's philosophy is deeply embedded in and encompasses humanistic perspective.
