EMERGENCE OF Dr.B.R.AMBEDKAR IN POLITICS - A STUDY

Abstract

Caste in India means an artificial chopping off the population into fixed and definite units, each one prevented from fusing into another through the custom of endogamy. Thus the conclusion is in evitable that Endogamy is the only characteristics that are peculiar to caste, and if we succeed in showing how endogamy is maintained, we shall practically have proved the genesis and also the mechanism of Caste According to Ambedkar: It is a pity that Caste even to-day has its defenders. The defences are many it is defended on the ground that the Caste System is but another name for division of Labour and if division of labour is a necessary feature of every civilized society then it is. Argued that there is nothing wrong in the Caste System. Now the first thing to be urged against this view is that Caste System is not merely division of labour. It is also a division of labourers. Civilized society undoubtedly, needs division of labour. But in no civilized society is division of labour accompanied by this unnatural division of labourers into water-tight compartments.
