Congress, Gandhi and Ambedkar: Assessment and Observations of Untouchability

by Sheshrao Chavan

Gandhi and Ambedkar occupied a dominant place in Indian politics. They stamped, each in his own way, on Indian politics certain features that have shaped the course of Indian politics during independence movement and after as well. Gandhi and Ambedkar differed fundamentally in their thought-ways and work-ways even though they shared a common environment. It is this fundamental difference that gets its reflection in their respective views.
The book contains in brief the charges levelled by Dr. Ambedkar against the Congress and Gandhi, and the replies given to them by K. Santhanam. It is for the readers to study them with an open mind and form their own opinion. And express the same, if they so desire, through press and/or public platform.
