This book explores the political thought of B.R. Ambedkar, one of the most important thinkers of modern India. Ambedkar's ideas transformed untouchability, often considered a millenary religious issue, into a political problem by linking it to larger ideas in the twentieth century such as liberty, slavery, race, and the creation of Pakistan.
