COMPARING DR. B.R. AMBEDKAR'S STATE SOCIALISM FOR INDIAN SOCIETY WITH SCIENTIFIC SOCIALISM OF KARL MARX

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar (1891-1956) and Karl Marx (1818-1883) both were concerned
with exploited humanity of Depressed Classes in India and the Proletariat class in European
countries respectively. However, their perception of the society, their experience with society,
their ideology of emancipation of the suffering masses and ways and means to attain the
objective were different.
The paper has focused on the relevance of the State Socialism in India by Dr. Babasaheb
Ambedkar through constitutional provisions and drawbacks of Scientific Socialism of Karl
Marx. The philosophy of Marx is very vast to understand and has many aspects to study but so
far Indian social system is concerned it is irrelevant to some extent. The paper does not cover
Marxian philosophical analysis in whole but only certain aspects which have been addressed in
the Ambedkarian philosophy of State socialism.
