Retrieving Ambedkar and Gandhi

Rustic Rumblings urges a re-examination of Ambedkar and Gandhi, but while doing so ‘the sameness and differences in Gandhi and Ambedkar have to be dealt with together’ because ‘the complex and profound dialectics between them can be understood only then but not when one is foregrounded ahead of the other’:

In the context of a world order, the talk of welfare state, national identity and boundaries, empowering the dalits and the impermeable nature of the self have all become atrophied. Retrieving Gandhi and Ambedkar and restructuring a post colonial discourse on their coexistent philosophies seems inevitable.
