Ambedkar dedicated his life to the removal of
untouchability and the promotion of untouchables in
society. From 1924 to the end of his life, he was the
leader of the untouchable movement. He was certain that
the nation's progress could not be realised unless
untouchability was abolished first. According to
Ambedkar, untouchability was linked to the abolition of
the caste system, which could only be accomplished by
removing religious notions from the system's base. As a
result, as part of his critique of the caste system, he
examined and criticised Hindu religious philosophy. He
did it bravely, often in the face of orthodox Hindus'
vehement objections. This paper focuses on Ambedkar's
thoughts on social reform
Keywords : social change, social reform, constitutional morality, caste and untouchability
