Body · continuous prose
BR Ambedkar argued that untouchability is the core feature of caste system and the caste system is beyond reformation. He criticised Gandhiji who were in favour of uplifting the position of untouchables (i.e. Harijans) while not completely destroying the Varna system.
BR Ambedkar supported the help of different legislations, Constitution and political mobilisation of untouchables to improve their social situation. He even criticised Hindu Religion as a whole and advocated conversion to Buddhism to give respectable place to untouchables in the social settings.
Ambedkar argued that untouchability was imposed by Brahmins on Dalits by cheating and they imposed their way of life on Dalits.
