Abstract

An intellectual rationalist, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, took an analytical look at the old social structure of the Hindus in order to facilitate the development of a democratic society base on the idea of equality for the achievement of social justice. His point of view centred on achieving social justice for underprivileged members of Indian society by encouraging their involvement in the country's socio-political and economic system. He believed that this would be the most effective way to bring about social change in India and intends to do play significant role in the development of contemporary India. He argues that if we don't have any political human rights, it's possible that we won't be able to transform society and achieve social justice for everyone. Therefore, he places an emphasis not only on the relationships between the many castes that make up the Hindu social system, but also on the relationships that exist within human evolution. This is the situation in the twenty first century, as our nation is observing that discrimination, injustice, and economic backwardness, etc. are primarily driven by the caste discrimination and caste fury among many castes that exist in our society. This is the case in light of the fact that our country is currently in the twenty first century.
