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”. Ambedkar’s point is that to believe in the Hindu Shastra’s and to simultaneously think of oneself as liberal or moderate is a contradiction in terms. When…

The concept of ownership has been interpreted in many ways throughout the years. Ownership is the state or right of possessing something, which draws certain protective security lines to close. This type of ownership protects its people and their land. The idea of ownership is powerful especially in our society today; however, in the political society we live in, we have to give up some of our ownership to be truly protected. As Americans we have natural rights that protect us and give us power…

Of course, Pateman goes on to tell us why, elaborating on the implict agreement in a social contract which privileges men in society to formulate the social contract; that implicit agreement, that ‘contract-within-the social contract’ (so to speak) is what Pateman calls the sexual contract. It is the unspoken agreement(s) about the place of women in society, as decided by men that Pateman tries to elucidate, much like Mills in discussing racism and the racial contract (implicit in the social…

nineteenth century literature is issue of class. Charles Dickens’ novel, Little Dorrit, deals with issues of living at the different levels of socio-economic class. Dickens first published Little Dorrit in 1857, less than a decade after Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels published The Communist Manifesto. The Manifesto is a book that takes a critical look at the status of those at the different levels of the socioeconomic classes. Marx and Engels write that class struggle only exists because there…

In the early 19th a philosopher born in Roeken, Germany showed a promising career as a philosopher. His name is Friedrich Nietzsche. He attacked morality, especially Christianity by considering a convenient tool used between groups to extend control over each other. Nietzsche’s notion of power placed him as one of the most assertive philosopher in criticizing morality. He did not know how much his ideas would travel through time and space. He did not realize either, that his critics would bring…

Karl Marx is arguably the most influential socialist thinker to emerge in the 19th century. He was a great philosopher, social scientist and historian who brought revolutionary views in to the social and economic space during his time. He was however not heavily regarded as so by scholars in his own lifetime-not until his death in 1883. Until recently, a great number of people forming almost half the population of the world, claimed to exist under Marxist regimes. The original ideas of Marx have…

The Communist Manifesto The Communist Manifesto is a 1848 political pamphlet by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engles, which were German Philosophers. It was a small book that explained the ideas of communism. The main point of the manifesto was to attempt to explain the goals of communism. The pamphlet argues that the development is inescapable and that capitalism is permanently unstable. The authors also address the fact that the class struggles or the abuse of one class from another, is the…

The relationship between owning something and the development of a person’s character has been long disputed. It is a proven fact that what is owned by a person in their childhood, directly affects their character as a person. We live in a world where a person’s social status is almost defined by how much that person owns. The value of a person is basically measured by the value of all their tangible goods. Many philosophers and transcendentalists have discussed this topic in their writings.…

Friedrich Nietzsche, a late 19th century philosopher and scholar, wrote about the denunciation of God and Christianity and ideas of individual morality. Similar to other early political theorists, he examines society, politics, ethics, and the rights of individuals. Throughout his numerous works, Nietzsche critiques “good and bad” along with morals and society as a collective. He considered himself immoral and a nihilist who condemns Christianity, in addition to believing that existence has no…
