a NECESSARY read for all Indians - Hindu or not.

Ambedkar's criticism of Hinduism, to an intellectually honest man, has to be convincing. Whether you agree with his solutions or not, it is impossible to disagree with his observations of the evil doing of Caste - which is undoubtedly an integral part of Hinduism and for Hindus, consciously or subconsciously.

Worth a Read

Not a particularly detailed read but one must read this just to get the idea of what actually used to happen.

Fantastic Book - A Must Read for everyone!

B.R. Ambedkar is by far the best author known to me. His authority in the language of English and knowledge of the subject is simply commendable.

Very important reading

Everybody should read this book somehow or the other. It exposes one of the frameworks underlying daily life in India and exposes what has been hidden from the modern Indian despite being so important.

Most authentic book on caste system in India

Ambedkar explanation and deep insights into caste system is unmatched. His words on caste system and caste problems should be taken as final word

The Grim Reality of India's Social Foundations

This is a must read for every Indian (regardless of which era they belong to), if not for every person in the world. A great introduction into the literature around caste, Dr. Ambedkar was clearly a revolutionary of his time, and his systematic dismantling of arguments for the caste system by his adversaries is a work of marvel. This book was relevant back then, but even more now as we dwell in a world which is supposedly modern but continues to harbour such archaic practices.
