B.R. Ambedkar has received liberal education. He was a versatile personality, intellectual, revolutionary, philosopher, patriot, scholar, writer and constitution maker. He had talents far beyond the average educated Indian. Outside India he is received with respect and affection, but among Hindus in India he is reminded at every step that he is one of the outcast castes of Hindu society. In the social hierarchy, Hinduism places the Brahmin in the first place. The Kshatriya is given the second place. The Vaishya and the Shudra are given the third and fourth place. It is not limited to mere gradation but includes the principles of hierarchical inequality by prescribing a descending scale of contempt and an ascending scale of reverence. Considering the Indian social realities, caste has always been the most obvious and vivid violator of human rights. This paper focuses on Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Ambedkar's views on caste system in the context of India and his efforts to eradicate the caste system. In the modern period, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar made a very significant contribution to the abolition of the caste system after Jothiba Phule. His viewpoint evolved not only from study but also from his experience. He expressed his views through the approach of human rights and work for human development. He fought bravely for freedom, equality and abolition of untouchability.
