Abstract	This research paper critically examines Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's vision of social justice with particular emphasis on caste oppression and constitutional equality. This paper examines Ambedkar's vision of social justice, with particular emphasis on caste oppression and constitutional equality. He described the caste as a system of graded inequality that institutionalised social hierarchy and discrimination. Using a qualitative and analytical approach based on the writings of Ambedkar, the Constitutional Assembly debates the interpretation of scholarly works. The paper argues that Ambedkar viewed political democracy as incomplete without social democracy and structural transformation in Indian society. The study highlights the relevance of Ambedkar's vision for cultural and social change in India by linking his philosophy with contemporary issues like caste discrimination in education, violence against the scheduled caste people, and unequal opportunities in India.
