Description
Annihilation of Caste is an undelivered speech written in 1936 by B. R. Ambedkar, an Indian academic turned politician. He wrote Annihilation of Caste for the 1936 meeting of a group of liberal Hindu caste-reformers in Lahore. After reviewing the speech’s controversiality, conference organizers revoked Ambedkar’s invitation. He then self-published the work. The work is considered a classic and is being re-evaluated time and again.
Annihilation of Caste is an account of the belief that social reform has to take precedence over political and religious reform, providing instances of the tyranny practised by upper-caste Hindus on the untouchable community of India.

Master piece on Destruction/Elimination/Demolition of Caste
It shows an important dialogue between Gandhi and Ambedkar,their perspective on Indian Society.
As one line reads in the book: To understand gandhi you need to understand ambedkar and vice versa.
But after further reading it further you would like to ignore the 1st part of the book written by Ms. Roy and 2nd part starts with this amazing Speech written by Dr.Ambedkar and i have just one word to say "WOW!! WOW!! & WOW!!".You won't find such scholarly work even in contemporary times and he cou...

A life changing work
It is often said that literature (fiction/non fiction) can inspire people for change.. French revolution, American war of independence, Russian revolution,Indian freedom struggle etc etc..all of them had been fueled by literature and this work of Dr B R Ambedkar has same potency..it shows that still the caste system is same, people are same and most of the problems like developmental issue,corruption issue, communalism, social tensions etc etc are some way connected with the caste system.

A Breach of Peace
It is not very often that you come across a book that shakes you from within. This book is like a mirror which shows the true face of the society we live in. This book establishes that nobody in India understands caste better than Dr. Ambedkar. Having suffered the brunt of untouchability himself, it was easy for him to get carried away, but he remained quite objective in the treatment of this sensitive subject. Arundhati Roy's introduction is an icing on the cake which establishes that Caste ...

Great product
The book will give an insight not only about the double standards of the society but also of the so called saint. They always talk of abolishing untouchability but never about abolishing caste system.

ANNIHILATION - The Thought PROVOKING !!!
WHAT a master piece writing work !!!!!!!!
It was very much intellectually stimulating for me.
I find that any work of non-fiction that I read has a very tiny message to to away & can be summarized very easily. That is not the case with annihilation of castes. Every sentence is a quotable quote. This is the most scholarly work I have ever read.
we need DR.AMBEDKAR urgently to in act . Do read & explore the thoughts.

a thought provoking book
its a good book to read, esp if you would like to know about history of india and how indians were in the past.
Arundathi roy's introduction is very useful to support the present status of various communities(statistics should be verified though). with this, one can know the poverty of backward classes.
Annihilation of Cast; a speech written by BR Ambedkar is beyond words to describe. It brings us close to how ambedkar though about the society and reforms he wished to have to make the soci...
