Ambedkar's analysis of the caste system is one of the most influential and radical critiques in Indian social and political thought. From the perspective of Dalit Philosophy, he viewed caste not merely as a social institution but as a system of graded inequality that denied liberty, equality, and fraternity. He argued that caste was the principal cause of social injustice and the oppression of Dalits and other marginalized communities. His critique was grounded in historical, sociological, ethical, and constitutional reasoning, making it relevant not only to India but also to broader discussions on human rights and social justice. Ambedkar rejected the common belief that caste was simply a division of labour. According to him, it was actually a division of labourers, where occupations were assigned by birth rather than by talent or choice. This hereditary system deprived individuals of freedom, prevented social mobility, and suppressed human potential. The caste system institutionalized discrimination by assigning different levels of status, rights, and dignity to different communities. A central feature of Ambedkar's analysis was the concept of graded inequality. Unlike a simple division between the rich and the poor, caste created multiple hierarchical levels in which every caste considered itself superior
