This book is a collection of articles and research papers by the author during the last five years. Through the pages of this volume an attempt is made to make its readers aware of the contemporary situations vis-a-vis Ambedkar's solutions, which are still having bearing on current socio-economic issues. Some of the issues raised and presented in this production pertain to the following enquiry: Why the Indian elites and highly educated ones quit their own country leaving the burden of its development on sweat and blood of the weaker sections? What is common between the traditional lists and the Ambedkarite Buddhists? Are the private sectors parasite on the state's resources and depriving SCS, STS, OBCs and Dalit women of the due share in their affluence? Why the national language Hindi is devoid of its heroes in the world? Are minorities interests secured under the provisions of Constitution of India? How far religions help support social utility, individual justice and universal brotherhood? Have the Indian castes recognized the dignity of Dalit Sarpanch as they are supposed to do that of Dalit President, Speaker, Chief Minister and Chief Justice? How to resolve unity amidst diversity, contradictions and paradoxes in Indian society? Have the Buddhists, Sikhs and Jains their personal laws like that of the Muslims and Hindus. And what is the vision of Dr. Ambedkar on Religion, demo racy, secularism, egalitarianism. war, peace and multipurpose development of rural India?
