- Author Name:
DR. B.R. Ambedkar
- Book Type:

- Description:
"Philosophy of Hinduism is a profound and critical analysis by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar that examines the foundations and philosophical underpinnings of Hinduism. Written with an intent to investigate the principles of justice, equality and morality within Hindu religious and social doctrines, the book delves into key concepts of Hindu philosophy, such as the idea of karma, dharma and the caste system. Waiting for a Visa is a powerful and eye-opening work by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, one of India's foremost social reformers and the chief architect of the Indian Constitution. Written in 1935-36, this autobiographical account is a collection of personal and real-life incidents that expose the harsh realities of caste discrimination faced by Ambedkar and other Dalits in the Pre-independent India."
The Buddha and His Dhamma Book on Buddha's Life And Philosophy
- Author Name:
DR. B.R. Ambedkar
- Book Type:

- Description:
"The Buddha and His Dhamma is Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's final and perhaps most spiritually significant work, offering a detailed exploration of the life, teachings and philosophy of Gautama Buddha. First published in 1957, this book serves as a foundational text for the Navayana or Neo-Buddhist movement, which Ambedkar initiated to promote a version of Buddhism rooted in social justice, equality and compassion. In this work, Ambedkar reinterprets the teachings of the Buddha to emphasise principles of rationalism, ethical living, and human dignity, critiquing traditional religious practices that, in his view, perpetuate superstition and social inequality. He presents the Buddha as a revolutionary figure whose teachings directly oppose caste-based discrimination and advocate for a moral code that transcends ritualistic practices."

DR. B.R. Ambedkar
- Book Type:

- Description:
"शूद्र कौन थे ? डॉ. भीमराव आंबेडकर द्वारा 1946 में लिखी गई पुस्तक, जो भारतीय जाति प्रणाली के सबसे निचले वर्ण शूद्रों के इतिहास पर केंद्रित है। यह पुस्तक ज्योतिराव फुले को समर्पित है और शूद्रों को भारत में एक अस्पृश्य जाति मानने की मिथ्या धारणाओं को तोड़ने का प्रयास करती है। आंबेडकर ने वेदों और महाभारत जैसे भारतीय ग्रंथों का संदर्भ देते हुए तर्क दिया कि शूद्र वास्तव में आर्य राजा थे, जो ब्राह्मणों के साथ लंबे संघर्ष के बाद एक निम्न जाति में परिवर्तित कर दिए गए। वे आर्य नस्ल सिद्धांत की भी चर्चा करते हैं और इंडो-आर्यन प्रवासन सिद्धांत को स्वीकार नहीं करते हैं, जिसे अकसर आर्य जाति के इतिहास का अभिन्न अंग माना जाता है। यह पुस्तक उन मिथकों और विचारधाराओं का खंडन करती है, जो शूद्रों को गलत तरीके से परिभाषित करती आई हैं और भारत में इस गलत समझी गई एवं शोषित जाति के प्रति सहिष्णुता स्थापित करने की आशा रखती है।"

Homeland
- Author Name:
Dalpat Chauhan +1
- Book Type:

- Description:
Dalpat Chauhan's first novel Homeland (Malak in Gujarati) is set in rural northern Gujarat in pre-independence India and tells the tale of a community of Dalits who eke out an existence on the margins of an upper castr village. They belong to the Vankar caste and are considered 'Untouchables' by the upper caste villagers. Many of them because of small loans taken by them or their forefathers from the village landlords are 'bonded' for generations to them and have to provide them with free labour. Their women are sexually harassed and at times raped and murdered. Yet these Vankars are attached to their Malak and are traumatised when they are forced to leave it due to the threat of uppar caste reprisal over the relationship between a young Dalit man and upper castemarried woman. Homeland is writtten in what be termed the postcolonial narrative style, with interior monologues, interventions of the past into the present and alternative voices. The language is a judicious mix of Northern Gujarat rural dialect and standard Gujarati. This gives the novel a very authentic and contemporary edge.
