Abstract

Religion occupies a central place in the philosophical and sociopolitical discourse of B.R. Ambedkar who viewed it not merely as a set of beliefs or rituals but as a profound instrument of social transformation. In Ambedkar’s perspective religion must be evaluated not on metaphysical grounds but on its ability to promote human dignity equality and justice. His critique of Hinduism reinterpretation of Buddhist thought and emphasis on ethical reconstruction illustrate his vision of religion as an emancipatory force rather than a spiritual doctrine confined to tradition. This research paper examines the extensive literature on Ambedkar’s perspectives on religion aiming to understand how scholars have interpreted his moral philosophy sociological critique and intellectual engagement with various religious traditions. The study highlights how Ambedkar’s writings such as Annihilation of Caste The Buddha and His Dhamma and Riddles in Hinduism have inspired contemporary debates on caste morali
