Abstract: The present paper focuses on the basic issues which are barriers to the egalitarian democracy of Indiansocial system: Brahmanism and equivalent to the caste and class systems respectively. The paper adopts a novelperspective that is quite unknown to the west which perceives basic human rights as natural rights. In fact, thestate is a social construction and human rights are the legal output. The paper proposes an alternative remedy tohuman rights issues in Indian context that is Ambedkar's thought which can be better qualified as Ambedkarism; asocial medicine for caste-ridden sick Indian social order. In the end, in order to adopt human rights as a part oflife to establish just social order, a series of strategies compatible with Indian situations are proposed; as used byDr Ambedkar himself.
