RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE.

While articulating his views on the annihilation of caste, Ambedkar repeatedly expressed himself in favour of a social order based on the ideas of liberty, equality, fraternity pressuambly to highlight the absence of and the need for the same in the Indian society, specially in the case of untouchables.

He went on to explain the imperative, nature and limits of the rights. The imperative of individual rights for Ambedkar, appears to have become evident due to its democratising impact on the society. As a firm believer on the egalitarian on the democratic and social political system.

1] In order to emphasize the indissolubility of the rights, Ambedkar stood by the natural theory of rights, which ought to have been the case, given his comprehensive training in the legal profession.

2] Rights are protected not by law but by moral conscience of the society. If social conscience is such that it is prepared to recognize the rights which law chooses to enact, rights will saved and secure. But if the fundamental rights are opposed by the community, no law, no parliament, no judiciary can guarantee them in real sense.

Surprisingly a champion of natural and inheritant rights believing in the inalienability.
