DR. B. R. AMBEDKAR: A PROBE INTO INDIA’S DESTINATION FROM ILLUSION TO RATIONALITY

The colonial modernity of alien rule in India through its value-loaded institutional framework obliged society to march forward towards secular democracy. The religious bound caste ridden society could not prepare itself to succumb such manipulating change. On such background the democratic polity appeared on the Indian horizon as means to nation's social- economic development. However, the democratic values enshrined in the constitutional framework could not reflect in socio-economic life. The tradition bound unequal values in all respects are being still playing dominant role in Indian society which retarded the healthy working of democracy as a way of life. Dr.Ambedkar has offered his theoretical tenets as a panacea over the social malady.
