Preface

To the first Telugu edition

T his is neither Buddhas biography nor Ambedkars. Further, it is not Marxs biography either. This is a discussion concerning the Dalit question based exclusively on Ambedkars writings. However, I have confined myself only to those writings that deal with the Dalit question and Caste system. Ambedkar had also discussed other issues like Division of labour, Division of Labourers, poverty, unemployment and economic exploitation. These issues are connected with the Dalit question and the Caste system. Hence all these issues find place in this book.

Ambedkar had also written on other themes like the Problem of the Rupee and Large Scale Industry. But I have not included those issues which are not directly connected with the Dalit question. Even regarding Gandhi, I have not considered issues other than those Ambedkar cited in connection with the Dalit question.

For the purpose of this essay, I wanted to rely only on Ambedkars writings. But, in couple of contexts where I could not find relevant information in Ambedkars works, I had to turn to a few references from his biographies. I have given these details in the respective contexts.
