Abstract

Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, a well-known figure in Indian politics, had unique ideas that intersected with major political ideologies like Liberalism and Marxism. However, he also developed his own distinct perspective. He emphasized the fact that societal values and moral conduct were more significant than mere political regulations. According to Ambedkar, democracy should aim to ensure equality and freedom for all individuals. He didn't view democracy solely as a system of governance but as a framework for organizing how people interact within society. Ambedkar stressed that the standard of interpersonal interactions within the community should be reflected in the democracy. He believed that democracy should empower everyone to enjoy freedom, equality, and mutual respect. Moreover, he argued that democracy should serve both as an ideal to strive for and as a means to achieve it. This implies that democracy should not only guarantee individual liberties and equality but also foster fairness and compassion in society. In a different way, Ambedkar believed the primary objective of democracy should be on how people interact with one another in the community, making sure that everyone is treated equally and given the right to live as they choose. In line with the principles of democracy, his philosophy emphasized the significance of social peace and justice. As a result, Ambedkar's idea of democracy includes social structure and ethics in addition to the administration of politics.
