annihilation of caste: more than a speech_🌿

i have always been fascinated by this book "annihilation of caste" of dr babasaheb ambedkar. Not only because it is an academic masterpiece or a reference to the core of so many socio-political movements but it is also one of the most sold, debated, interpreted book than any other academic book.

though at the outset, it is written in the manner of a public speech, as said in the title as "speech prepared but undelivered" or even if any reader knows the context of publishing this speech into a book, may understand that it is a speech. 

what i see in this book is that it is a balance of academic sophistication, normative reasoning and simplicity of writing, so that it can be understood by all, the activists, academicians as well as the common masses.

this is a list of sources from which one could holistically visit this book with almost all contemporary debates that are happening. Annihilation of Castes: Text, Context and Theory (List of Sources)
