Annihilation of Caste

by B.R. Ambedkar

Congressman who repeats the dogma of Mill that one country is not fit to rule another country, must admit that one class is not fit to rule another class.

Religion, social status, and property are all sources of power and authority, which one man has, to control the liberty of another.

Caste System is not merely a division of labour. It is also a division of labourers.

The real remedy for breaking Caste is intermarriage. Nothing else will serve as the solvent of Caste.

Arrogation of a superior status by and of the Varna over another is a denial of the law. And there is nothing in the law of Varna to warrant a belief in untouchability. (The essence of Hinduism is contained in its enunciation of one and only [one] God as Truth and its bold acceptance of Ahimsa as the law of the human family.)
