Abstract: A brilliant personality in the Indian social movement is Dr. B. R. Ambedkar. This man of rare talent has fought all his life for the solution of the important problems of contemporary India. Among the problems that particularly stirred this sensitive statesman, the question of the liberation of Dalits and untouchables was the most important. From childhood, he realized that the long-standing caste system was the main cause of social discrimination. Therefore, he considered the need to establish the values of social rights, equality, justice, freedom, brotherhood, etc. in the society to be extremely urgent. He not only gave assurances for the exploited, deprived, oppressed Dalits, but also made good arrangements so that they could actually enjoy rights and justice. The research article under preparation contains a small reflection of that.
Key Words:Caste,Dalit, Depressed Classes, Exploited, Equality, Freedom, Oppressed etc.
