Today on Ambedkar’s 128th birth anniversary he is more politically and socially relevant than ever before. A thread on some of his writings (with links) that I think should be read by everyone. 1/n #ambedkar #ThoughtsofAmbedkar
Ambedkar’s writings on caste is well known. An absolute must read is “The Annhilation of Caste” which is a lecture he never gave. It published later as a book. It is a debate between the ideas of Gandhi and Ambedkar or the doctor versus the saint. amazon.com/Annihilation-C… 2/n
