Dr B R Ambedkar Views on the Socio-Economic Aspect of Democracy

In general usage, the term "democracy" refers to political democracy. One man, one vote is the basis of political democracy. Dr. Ambedkar, on the other hand, has a unique perspective on democracy, based on a thorough examination of the political, social, and economic conditions that existed in India during his lifetime. By "democracy," Ambedkar means major changes in people's social and economic lives, as well as people's acceptance of those changes without resorting to squabbles and bloodshed. A democratic society, according to Ambedkar, should be built on the trinity of liberty, equality, and brotherhood. Only a democratic society, he believed, could provide political democracy. The elimination of socio-economic inequalities in a democratic society is essential. It demanded social equality. To put it another way, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar was determined to ensure that the notion of one man, one vote translated into one man, one value not only in a person's political life but also in his or her economic and social life. This paper examines Ambedkar's views on democracy in general, with a focus on its socio-economic aspects. The paper also discusses Ambedkar's perspectives on Indian democracy and how to make democracy a source of social equality.
