    About the Book :
    Dr. B.R. Ambedkar : A Social Reformer and Architect of the Indian Constitution written by Dr. Sumita Sinha seeks to showcase the meteoric rise of a socially backward and economically disadvantaged mahar boy who attained eminence in life as a social reformer and Constitution maker in the national history of India. The story of his life is a brilliant saga of a multifaceted genius who played a very important role as a jurist, economist, politician, social reformer and a Constitution maker. He dazzled the social and political firmament of India and left behind an indelible stamp in the national life. He was posthumously conferred the ‘Bharat Ratna’, the highest civilian award for his seminal contribution to national life. This book is the record of the relentless struggle that Ambedkar waged for the elimination of manifold social injustices and discriminations to which the depressed or backward classes of our society have been subjected for ages together. He came to realize from his experiences that these social maladies were the inevitable consequences of ‘graded inequality’ which is an offshoot of caste system prevailing in our society. He felt the need for the transformation of our society without which the upliftment of the untouchables can not be done. All his social crusades were directed towards the achievements of this goal. When Ambedkar was engaged in framing the Constitution of India, he had at the back of his mind, the welfare and upliftment of the socially downtrodden people. He incorporated many provisions and safeguards in the Constitution to create a ‘just society’ in which the untouchables will be able to live a life of dignity and respect like the rest of the Indian people. The Constitution of India as drafted under his dynamic and foresighted leadership, remains a unique document for building a ‘Just society’.
