Gandhi and Ambedkar.

Gandhi and Ambedkar were two of the most influential figures in modern Indian history, and while they shared some common goals, they had significant differences in their approach to social and political issues. Here are some key differences between them:

Caste System

• Caste System:  One of the most significant differences between Gandhi and Ambedkar was their approach to the caste system. Gandhi believed in the concept of varnashrama dharma, which essentially meant the division of society into four varnas based on their occupation. He believed in the concept of “Harijan” or “Children of God” to uplift the Dalits. On the other hand, Ambedkar vehemently opposed the caste system and called for its complete abolition.

Political Philosophy.

• Political Philosophy: Gandhi was a proponent of non-violent civil disobedience and believed in Satyagraha (soul-force) as a means of achieving social and political change. Ambedkar, on the other hand, was a more radical thinker and believed in the power of the state to create change. He called for the reservation of seats in educational institutions and government jobs for Dalits.

Religion.

• Religion: Gandhi was a deeply spiritual person and saw religion as an essential part of Indian culture. He believed in the idea of Sarvadharma Sambhava, which essentially meant that all religions were equal. Ambedkar, however, was a rationalist and believed that religion was the cause of social and political inequality.Women’s Rights: Gandhi believed in the traditional role of women in Indian society and saw them as mothers and caretakers. Ambedkar, on the other hand, was a strong advocate for women’s rights and called for gender equality in all spheres of life.

These are some of the key differences between Gandhi and Ambedkar, but they were both instrumental in shaping modern India and fighting for the rights of marginalized communities.
