“Rooting Social Justice in History: A Concise Overview of Dr. Ambedkar’s Historical Narrative”

Author(s) Dr. Mohan Prakash
Country India
Abstract Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, known as the chief architects of the Indian Constitution and foremost social reformer, used historical narrative with great literary and rhetorical power to critique the ideological basis of caste. This article wishes to propose that Ambedkar's historical writing is a different genre of "polemical historiography," in which history is not a neutral accounting of the past, but an active, interpretative, and literary weapon in the fight for social justice. In examining some key texts, such as Who Were the Shudras? and Buddha and His Dhamma, the article examines how Ambedkar was able to resist predominant accounts through an innovative methodology that simultaneously engaged anthropological evidence, acted upon mythic content, and deployed logical argument. Ambedkar's past is alternative historiography. Ambedkar, through history, systematically responds to and counter challenges both Brahmanical and colonial engagements, outside of the meeting. Instead, reclaiming agency for all people, particularly marginalized communities, through history. Ambedkar's historians, through an invigorating mixture of direct experience, poetic rhetoric, and narrative layering, exhorts history as more than an intellectual application, but also a political weapon for social critique, consciousness raising, and the enabling of the political agency. The article proposes that Ambedkar's unique alternative form and ongoing political potency creates new possibilities for Dalit, and anti-caste discourses.
