Ambedkar Knihy

This book addresses the "Currency question" in British India, which ultimately led to the establishment of the Reserve Bank of India. Authored by the "Father of Economics of India," it is a significant contribution to the field. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891-1956), known as Babasaheb, was a prominent Indian jurist, economist, politician, and social reformer. He played a crucial role in the Modern Buddhist Movement and advocated against social discrimination faced by Untouchables (Dalits), women, and laborers. As Independent India's first law minister and the principal architect of the Constitution, Ambedkar was a distinguished scholar with degrees from Columbia University and the London School of Economics. His early career included roles as an economist, professor, and lawyer, while his later years were marked by political activism, campaigning for India's independence, and advocating for the rights of Dalits. In 1956, he converted to Buddhism, leading to mass conversions among Dalits. The book, first published in 1923, quickly went out of print due to high demand. Although Ambedkar shifted focus to law and politics, he planned to release an updated edition of the History of Indian Currency and Banking, with this work as the first volume. He assures readers that the original text remains relevant and promises a timely release of the second volume.

This book is a reprint of a significant work by Dr. B R Ambedkar, a key figure in Indian reform and the architect of the Indian Constitution. Originally published in 1945, it presents Ambedkar's critical examination of the Congress Party and M.K. Gandhi's actions regarding the Untouchables. The text is preserved in its original format and style, covering various chapters that address pivotal issues such as political maneuvering, social justice, and the plight of the Untouchables. Key chapters include discussions on political charity, false claims, and a plea to the foreign audience, alongside Ambedkar's insights into Gandhism. This work serves as an invaluable resource for institutions, libraries, universities, and researchers in fields like Political Science, Modern History, Social Work, and Dalit Studies. Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, born on April 14, 1891, in Madhya Pradesh, was a prominent politician and jurist dedicated to combating social evils like untouchability and caste discrimination. As India's first Law Minister, he played a crucial role in shaping the nation’s legal framework. His lifelong advocacy for the rights of Dalits and socially marginalized groups earned him recognition, culminating in the posthumous award of the Bharat Ratna in 1990. Despite health challenges in his later years, he remained committed to his cause until his passing on December 6, 1956.
