Ranade, Gandhi and Jinnah is an insightful work by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar that contrasts the ideologies and political approaches of three prominent leaders of India's freedom movement: Mahadev Govind Ranade, Mahatma Gandhi, and Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Ambedkar provides a critical analysis of their strategies, beliefs, and the ways in which they addressed India's social and political problems.Ambedkar praises Ranade for his moderate, reformist approach, advocating gradual progress and cooperation with the British for social reform. Gandhi, on the other hand, is criticized for his emphasis on spiritual politics, non-violence, and his failure to fully address the caste issue. Ambedkar also scrutinizes Jinnah, particularly focusing on his political tactics and the demand for Pakistan.This book is a reflection of Ambedkar's own vision for India, stressing social equality, rational thinking, and a secular approach to political issues. It's a must-read for anyone interested in Indian history and political thought.
