DESCRIPTION
This book revisits and re-evaluates the historic struggle between Ambedkar and the triumvirate of Gandhi, Nehru and the Congress. Structured in three thematic parts—on Dr Ambedkar, on Gandhi and their political confrontations—it sheds light on how India’s freedom movement involved a trade-off between political independence and social justice. Through meticulously researched analysis, the book argues that to understand modern India’s evolution into a Sovereign, Democratic Republic, one must examine the layered conflicts, compromises and ideological duels between its most iconic figures.
Dr Narendra Jadhav, eminent economist, former MP (Rajya Sabha) and a leading scholar, is currently producing a 60-hour web series on the Indian Constitution and hosts the podcast “Bhim Bhashya” on YouTube.
“The strength of What Congress, Gandhi and Nehru Have Done to Dr Ambedkar lies in the way Dr Jadhav discusses Gandhi’s relationship with the Dalit struggle by focusing on Gandhi’s conflicts with Ambedkar. In doing so, Dr Jadhav shows how Ambedkar’s vision of Dalit liberation conflicted with that of Gandhi. And it crystallizes the shortcomings of Gandhi’s vision for overcoming the historic discrimination visited upon Dalits by caste Hindus. For anyone seeking to understand those shortcomings, which continue to limit India’s ability to rectify its past and ongoing discrimination against Dalits, this book is a necessary read.” —Kevin Brown Mitchell S.
