The era of modernity is analysed from the point of view of the assumptions underlying the development of this formation controlled by reason, progress, rationality, knowledge and technology. Paradoxically, we cannot deny that in colonial and post-colonial times, Indian society suffered from the combined effects of religious bigotry, patriarchy and colonialism. Ambedkar is to be seen as a man of international stature rather than in the traditional Indian framework. The philosophy of Ambedkar provides a critique of Hinduism and also an alternative to the Hindu religious system through protests like religious conversion. He speaks not only against the caste system but also against the tyranny of the casteism of high castes. It is argued that his contributions need to be observed as modernist rather than as reductionist understanding as a messiah of Dalits.

印度现代性与民主之路:对安贝德卡(Ambedkar)预言的批判

从由理性,进步,理性,知识和技术控制的这种形式的发展所基于的假设的角度来分析现代性时代。矛盾的是,我们不能否认,在殖民时期和后殖民时期,印度社会受到宗教偏执,父权制和殖民主义的共同影响。安贝德卡(Ambedkar)被视为具有国际地位的人,而不是传统的印度框架。安贝德卡(Ambedkar)的哲学提出了对印度教的批判,并且通过诸如宗教信仰conversion依之类的抗议活动,也成为了印度教宗教制度的替代品。他不仅在反对种姓制度,而且在反对种姓制度的暴政。
