Abstract

Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891- 1956) was an Indian jurist, economist, social reformer and a leader of depressed classes people. He advocated social justice as a means to create an ideal or just society based on equity, liberty, and fraternity in India. He mobilized Dalit with the motto "educate, agitate and unite" and inculcate in their minds the values of self-respect, dignity, and an urge to fight for their rights. To free the depressed classes from the bondage of caste hierarchy he sought them an ideal religion. For envisioning a just society, his drafting of the Indian Constitution was a remarkable for the social justice of Dalit. Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar stands as one of the most significant architects of modern India’s socio-political landscape. As the chief architect of the Indian Constitution, his life’s work was dedicated to the upliftment of the Dalits (formerly known as "untouchables") and other marginalized communities. This paper explores the concept of social justice for Dalits in India through the lens of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar’s activism, ideology, and institutional contributions.
