This grading therefore did no justice to individual talent and intelligence. By birth was the main drawback of this system. It graded people by birth assigning them a fixed occupation which determined their social status. I will write about the points that struck me most.Ĭasteism was never simply a work management system as some claim with regards to allocated occupations being its basic factor. It moves on various problematic facets of casteism. The book starts with addressing the atrocities unleashed on Dalits for years and their confinement to ridiculous and humiliating rules subjected to their respective castes. Their main objection was Ambedkar’s citing of scriptures from religious books to establish how they provide validity to casteism in Hinduism. The speech could not be delivered as some of its members objected to its content. It is actually a drafted speech he was supposed to deliver in a meeting of Jat Pat Todak Mandal, an anti caste organisation in Lahore. Annihilation Of Caste is a book written by Babasaheb Ambedkar in 1936.
