  1. Sambhvya Pandey

    Gives a different perspective on Indian caste system, but tough to get through in one sitting

  2. Amritashree Sivakumaran

    An eye-opening and unsettling read. Ambedkar’s arguments are powerful and demand attention. A bit slow in the middle.

    A difficult but rewarding read. Ambedkar’s insights are profound, even if the writing style is dense.

    Ambedkar’s work is always relevant. This book provides a necessary historical context, though it can be heavy.
