Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar also known as Babasaheb was an Indian nationalist jurist dalit, political leader, activist, philosopher, thinker, anthropologist, historian, orator, prolific writer, economist, scholar, editor, revolutionary and the revivalist of Buddhism in India. He was also the chief architect of the Indian constitution. Born into a poor untouchable family, Ambedkar spent his whole life fighting against social discrimination the system of Chaturvarna the Hindu categorization of human society into four varnas--and the Indian caste system. Dr. Ambedkar\'s understanding the prime factor responsible for the evolution of the system of untouchability was the religious persecution of Buddhists, while other social psychological factors are secondary. This book is a comprehensive design to offer an indepth analysis of the major, and rather disturbing global problems in the human centred Ambedkar\'s view of Indian caste i.e. Dalit, Harijan and untouchability and peace oriented framework.
