Book excerpt: What I have done here is to state with necessary explanation the writings of Ambedkar on "The Philosophy of Hinduism" to which I have added the responses of various giants of the period to the problem of caste in India. These include the opinions of Gandhi, Vivekananda, Aurobindo and many others. A particularly relevant rational discussion is by V. Jayram.The Marxian solution of not much different, though they consider only the economic aspect neglecting the Opium - Religion. Is Ambedkar considering only the Opium, neglecting the economics? Is there a religious solution?
