Knowledge as Power: Dr. B. R. Ambedkar’s Educational Philosophy explores the transformative vision of education articulated by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar as a tool for social emancipation, equality, and democratic empowerment. The book presents Ambedkar’s belief that education is not merely a means of personal advancement but a powerful instrument to challenge caste hierarchies, social injustice, and structural inequality.
Drawing from Ambedkar’s speeches, writings, and life experiences, the work highlights his emphasis on rational thinking, scientific temper, and critical inquiry as foundations of a progressive society. It examines his advocacy for universal education, especially for marginalized and oppressed communities, and his insistence on state responsibility in ensuring access to quality education.
The book also situates Ambedkar’s educational philosophy in contemporary contexts, demonstrating its relevance to present-day debates on inclusive education, social justice, and nation-building. Insightful and thought-provoking, this book serves as a valuable resource for students, educators, researchers, and readers interested in understanding how knowledge functions as a source of power, dignity, and liberation in Ambedkar’s vision of modern India.
