Fiction

"Castes in India" is a seminal work by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, originally published in 1916. Dr. Ambedkar was a prominent Indian jurist, economist, and social reformer who played a pivotal role in the struggle for the rights of Dalits (formerly known as untouchables) and other marginalized communities in India.

In "Castes in India," Ambedkar provides a comprehensive analysis of the caste system, which has been a pervasive social and cultural institution in India for centuries. He examines the historical origins of caste, its evolution over time, and its impact on Indian society, politics, and economy.

Ambedkar challenges the traditional Hindu view of caste as a divinely ordained social order and instead argues that caste is a form of social hierarchy and oppression that has been perpetuated through religious and social practices. He critiques the discriminatory practices and injustices faced by Dalits and other lower-caste groups and calls for radical social reform to dismantle the caste system and achieve social justice and equality for all.

"Castes in India" is considered one of Ambedkar's most important works and remains highly relevant for its incisive analysis of caste-based discrimination and inequality in Indian society. Ambedkar's ideas continue to influence social and political movements advocating for the rights and empowerment of marginalized communities in India.
