Description: About The Book:- This book reveals the thought of Karl Marx and Babasaheb Ambedkar in their real perspective and attempts to compare their thoughts rationally and judiciously . It is, however based on original text by Karl Marx and Babasaheb Ambedkar and learned commentaries by renowned authors on their thoughts. The present generation is presumably in great dilemma as to which philosophy would liberate them from the precarious situation cropped up due to advancing globalization and privatization, at one hand and grinding poverty , and fast spreading terrorism, at the other . People are in search of a viable philosophy for obliterating injustice and availing sustainable peace, progress and justice. This study would certainly help them in coming to the right decision. However , there seems to be acute dearth of comparative study of their thoughts, which is required for proper comprehension, In this situation, this book would certainly serve the purpose.About the Author:-Dr .
