ANNIHILATION OF CASTE THE UNDELIVERED SPEECH OF Dr. AMBEDKAR
“Annihilation of Caste is B.R. Ambedkar’s most radical text. It is not an argument directed at Hindu fundamentalists or extremists, but at those who considered themselves moderate, those whom Ambedkar called “the best of Hindus”— and some academics call “left-wing Hindus”.

Every man has right to choose a work he want to do for his livelihood learning. Equality should be given in a healthy society on the basis of a person’s own effort not on the basis of heredity (family name), colour. All should given equal respect as
