BR Ambedkar and the history of constitutionalizing India / Chakrabarty, Bidyut   Journal Article
Chakrabarty, Bidyut Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract BR Ambedkar is usually projected as a protagonist of social justice. But equally important was his role in constitutionalizing India, evident first in his witness to the 1919 Southborough Committee on Franchise, followed by his intervention in the 1930 Round Table Conference in London, where he defended compensatory discrimination for the untouchables in opposition to the Gandhi. The article argues that in so doing Ambedkar was evidently influenced by his teacher at the University of Columbia, John Dewey, who taught him the finer principles of liberalism. By comparing the views of Gandhi and Ambedkar on separate electorates and reservation, the article pursues the argument that unlike the former, Babasaheb sought to transform society through politics which, to him, meant the consolidation of constitutional values or endosmosis, or, to borrow George Grote’s expression, constitutional morality. On the basis of a thorough analysis of the principal arguments that he made to defend constitutional protection for compensatory discrimination, this article provides valuable insights showing the analytical basis of Babasaheb’s notion of social justice. Furthermore, his defence of liberal constitutional values also laid the foundation of a unique moral and political framework for public reasoning, a contribution that has not been adequately recognized in contemporary scholarship on Dalits, BR Ambedkar or social discrimination.

Chakrabarty, Bidyut Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract Left front's 2009 Lok Sabha poll debacle in West Bengal, India This paper demonstrates that left front is no longer unassailable in West Bengal after three decades of rule. It identifies the specific reasons for the Left front electoral debacle in the 2009 Lok Sabha elections. The paper also argues that the left front is caught between the contrasting imperatives of adapting to changing socioeconomic conditions in liberalizing India, while concurrently attempting to remain true to its traditional communist ideology and support base in a globalized world
