About: Ambedkar & Modi Reformer’s Ideas Performer’s Implementation
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s influence has overarching impact on the making of Modern India. However, his legacy was sidelined and subjected to institutional neglect.
The book is a prism that reflects upon the multitude of contributions of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar in the nation building process. Many of his ideas and interventions continue to define our governance paradigm, especially with PM Narendra Modi at the helm ensuring that his legacy is revived.
The book studies the points of intersection of India’s development story under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ideals of Babasaheb. It also highlights the striking parallels between the two towering personalities that succeeded against all odds and worked to dismantle stifling social structures that they themselves experienced from close quarters.
