In “Who Were Shudras,” Dr. B.R. Ambedkar embarks on a profound journey into the heart of caste oppression, unearthing the origins and injustices faced by one of India’s most marginalized communities.
Born out of his own lived experience of untouchability and bolstered by meticulous historical research, Ambedkar challenges the traditional narratives that have long justified the subjugation of the Shudra caste.
This groundbreaking work not only redefines the historical identity of the Shudras but also critiques the religious and social mechanisms that have perpetuated their discrimination.
Ambedkar’s insightful analysis reveals how the caste system, sanctioned by religious texts and rituals, has not only hindered the socio-economic development of the Shudras but also entrenched a division that affects the very fabric of Indian society.
With compelling arguments for reformation, including the upliftment through education, economic empowerment, and political representation, Ambedkar sets the stage for a future where caste divisions can be transcended.
“Who Were Shudras” is not just a scholarly indictment of caste inequality; it is a call to action, a manifesto for change that continues to inspire millions in the fight against social injustice.
Ambedkar’s vision for a casteless society, articulated with both passion and precision, makes this book an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of Indian society and the path towards a more inclusive and equitable nation.

“This book is a treasure trove of knowledge. It shows the vision of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and anticipations of the problems of partition.
The present generation of youth needs to read this book because it reveals a lot of intentionally hidden information. It is the best book to gain insight into the horrors of the partition and will surely compel thereaders to think about how and why India was partitioned and it also exposes the true nature of the sinister minded people and their disgusting hypocrisy. Surely, one of the great books written by Dr. Ambedkar, the Father of our Constitution.
“Any Government which denied this elementary right of freedom of speech and freedom of action did not deserve allegiance from the people.”
— Dr. B.R. Ambedkar
