Written in 1936 by B. R. Ambedkar, the book originated as a speech prepared for a gathering of caste-reform advocates in Lahore. However, its bold criticism of the caste system and its religious foundations led to the withdrawal of Ambedkar’s invitation, prompting him to publish the speech independently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this landmark work, Dr. Ambedkar presents a powerful critique of caste-based discrimination and argues that meaningful social reform requires confronting the structures and beliefs that sustain inequality. Drawing upon sociology, economics, history, religion, and political thought, he examines how caste divisions have shaped Indian society and hindered social justice and human dignity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also includes the historic intellectual exchange between Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi, featuring Gandhi’s response and Ambedkar’s rebuttal. Together, these writings provide readers with a deeper understanding of one of the most significant debates in India's social and political history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA foundational text in the study of social justice, equality, democracy, and reform, Annihilation of Caste remains essential reading for students, scholars, activists, and anyone interested in understanding the challenges and possibilities of building a more equitable society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLandmark work by B.
