Dr Ambedker The Man Who Shaped Indias Democratic Republic By Narendra Jadhav

Dr B.R. Ambedkar’s immense contribution to the making of India’s Constitution is well known, but his pivotal role in shaping the nation as a democratic republic is less known.

In this book, author Narendra Jadhav chronicles Ambedkar's profound contributions as an eminent jurist, economist, social reformer and a political leader in India’s journey to becoming a sovereign democratic Republic. Dr Jadhav argues that, contrary to popular belief, it was not Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru or Sardar Patel who played the most decisive roles in constitutional reforms; it was Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar.

The book details Dr Ambedkar’s evolution as a scholar and social reformer, his practice of Liberal Republicanism, and an analysis of the constitutional reforms that led to the creation of a robust Constitution. Dr Jadhav’s work uniquely examines Ambedkar's diverse contributions, shedding light on aspects of his legacy often overlooked.

Dr Narendra Jadhav is a noted economist and author, having served as a Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha until April 2022.
