R. 1891-1956 Political and social views N1 - Bib and Ref N2 - This book is aimed to settle this debate and dismiss all such claims regarding Ambedkar's contribution in the upliftment of untouchable castes and communities. Based on primary and secondary sources, the book primarily addresses three questions: Why did such a movement questioning Ambedkar's mission take place? What were the specific efforts of Dr Ambedkar for the upliftment of the Bhangi community? How did Gandhi and Congress respond to this movement? This comprehensive study, by a veteran author, will prove to be an essential reading for all those who have questioned Ambedkar's contribution in the emancipation of Bhangis. It will also serve as a resourceful guide to postgraduate students and researchers of political science and sociology ER -
