Dr. Ambedkar’s vision of Social Justice emanates from his quest for a ‘Just Society’, which is based on the idea of a casteless society. It was his constant search for a just social order, incredible hard work and unflinching belief in self help and self dependence that look him to the infallible heights where he had to be acknowledged and recognized by one and all as the crusader against the social evils, the liberator of the down trodden and also the architect of the Indian Constitution.The Indian society of Dr. Ambedkar’s time denied equality by granting special privileges to Brahmins and other higher castes and denying the shudras the right to own property and to educate and protect them. They did not have liberty to read, write, worship and also to pursue a vocation and own property. In the absence of freedom and equality, the social system encouraged confinement and compartmentalization. As a result, there was complete absence of fraternity besides equality and liberty - the trinity which constitute social justice in the views of Dr. Ambedkar. He firmly believed that justice couldn’t be conceived in absence of any of the three.
