Abstract: This research critically examines Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar’s seminal works, ‘The Annihilation of Caste’ and ‘Caste in India: Their Mechanism, Genesis, and Development’. Ambedkar’s writings offer a profound critique of the caste system in India, highlighting its deeprooted socio-economic and psychological impacts. This study explores the historical context, underlying mechanisms, and the persistent challenges posed by caste-based discrimination. It also delves into Ambedkar’s proposed reforms and their relevance in contemporary India. Through this analysis, the project aims to contribute to a better understanding of caste dynamics and the ongoing struggle for social justice. In India: Their Mechanism, Genesis, and Development’, he systematically dissects the origins and functioning of the caste system, providing a historical and sociological perspective that underscores the complexities involved. This project not only analyzes Ambedkar’s works but also reflects on their enduring significance in modern India. The caste system, despite legal prohibitions, continues to affect millions of lives, making Ambedkar’s insights and solutions as relevant today as they were during his lifetime. Ambedkar’s ‘The Annihilation of Caste’ provides a scathing critique of the Hindu social order, challenging the very foundations of caste and advocating for its complete eradication. Key words: Critical Analysis, Ambedkar, Bhim Rao, Bhim Rao Ambedkar, Dalits, The Anhilation of Caste
