Reservations - as a Step of Social Democracy: Review of Dr. Ambedkar’s Principles

: The paper aims to highlight the key frameworks of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, his thoughts, philosophies, and goals behind the framing of the Indian constitution. Based on different theories and philosophies, the concept of the reservation system adopted by the Indian Constitution, and its relevance in today’s scenario is being portrayed. Dr. Ambedkar’s idea of a classless and casteless society is somewhat achieved but due to the undue advantages of the reservation system, the individuals are deprived of equality and equal opportunities. The rights of representation given to minors were for some time only but the parliament till today haven’t changed this system which is a curse in the economic and social development of the nation.
