The Economic Thought of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar

Abstract

This study explores the economic theories of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, a visionary social reformer and key player in India's freedom movement. Although Ambedkar's contributions to social justice and the empowerment of marginalised populations are widely acknowledged, his economic ideas and programmes are still not as well studied. This essay will examine Ambedkar's economic views, their applicability today, and any possible ramifications for resolving socioeconomic disparities.
