Department of Political Science, mLAC organized an online guest lecture on the topic “Dr.B.R.Ambekar’s thought on Women Empowerment” on 19th July 2021. Dr.Eranna, Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Government First Grade College, and Bagepalli prefaced his presentation with Ambedkar’s quote “I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved”.
The speaker viewed that Dr.B.R.Ambedkar’s approach to women’s right was exclusively different from other social reformers like Jyothiba Phule, Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Mahatma Gandhi. And also viewed that Ambedkar in order to secure the goal of making a society based on social justice he have equal status to women on par with men by providing many provisions in the Indian Constitution. The Preamble of Indian Constitution guarantees social and economic justice to women and that is because of Ambedkar’s contribution.
