Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's economic and social thought presents a transformative framework for addressing inequality and promoting inclusive growth in India. His philosophy integrates social justice, equal opportunity, and the elimination of caste-based economic discrimination as foundational principles for building a resilient and equitable society. Ambedkar emphasized state-led industrialization, land reforms, labor rights, and affirmative action as central strategies to uplift marginalized communities, especially Dalits, Advises, and women. He advocated for universal education, gender equality, and welfare policies to dismantle structural injustices embedded in Indian society. By bridging economic democracy with social justice, Ambedkar's insights remain profoundly relevant to contemporary policy-making and governance, offering crucial lessons for promoting fiscal equity and empowering vulnerable populations.
