The Ambedkar touch in rethinking social justice policies
Context:
The leaders of the market economy should be educated to adopt welfarist measures for the worst-off social groups, in turn making them integral to economic development.
Historical Background:
- Current Demand: Modern democracy aims at social harmony and dignity for all.
- Post-colonial idea: Ambedkar's ideals envisioned Dalits and Adivasis as equal stakeholders’ post-colonial India.
- Timeline for development: Neo-liberal development, however, has derailed traditional support for marginalized communities.
Current Challenges:
- Elitism approach: Social elites dominate, holding authoritative positions.
- Lack of authority:Despite claims of social justice policies, marginalized groups have a tokenistic presence in power and privileges.
- Addressing problems for marginalized: Ambedkar's principles demand a more responsible market and effective social justice policies for Dalits and Adivasis.
Reviving Ambedkar's Social Justice:
- Neo-liberal economy lacks ethical values, distancing from social responsibilities.
- Reforms needed to integrate Dalits and Adivasis into the new economic order.
- Way forward:Social justice policies should democratize working classes, reduce poverty, and elevate marginalized groups' stature in capitalism.
