Abstract: This study examines Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s political philosophy, particularly his views on the role of the state in safeguarding justice and equality, his advocacy for economic justice, and his contributions to global ideals of social justice. Ambedkar conceptualized the state as an essential force in addressing systemic inequalities, advocating for legal reforms, affirmative action, and state intervention in the economy to ensure justice for marginalized communities. His ideas not only transformed India’s social and political landscape but also resonated with global movements for human rights, equality, and social justice, influencing struggles against racial discrimination and apartheid. The study highlights how Ambedkar’s vision continues to shape contemporary discussions on social justice and human rights, both within India and internationally.
Keywords: B.R. Ambedkar, Political Philosophy, Social Justice, Economic Justice, Affirmative Action.
