THE ANNIHILATION OF CASTE (How this speech came to be composed and not delivered) - By Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, also known as Babasaheb Ambedkar has marked himself as a social reformist of high order in the history of India. His emerging popularity as a social reformer invited him many opportunities and occasions to deliver his opinions and views to chunk of large audiences across the country, especially in the early decades of the 20th century.
