Abstract

The ideas and views of Gandhiji and Ambedkar towards the issue of Caste and Untouchability were opposite to each other. The purpose of the article is to study and compare the main ideas and views of Gandhiji and Ambedkar on the issue of caste and untouchability were opposite. In the process of research, the methods of historical analysis, synthesis and generalization, as well as comparative analysis were used, which contributed to the achievement of the set goal. Gandhiji was a staunch follower of the Caste Institution whereas Arnbedkar was completely anti-Caste. The social philosophy of Gandhiji was built up upon the norms of the Caste System, the Vamashram Dharma and the Hindu religion whereas Arnbedkar made his social philosophy based on the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity. Therefore, it can be pointed out that Gandhi was a bearer of the Caste traditions whereas Ambedkar was an ardent follower of equality, liberty and fraternity in this respect and played a vital role in establishing the concept of 'Social Justice' by protecting 'Human Rights of the Depressed Classes in India.
