TY - JOUR AB - <p>Bhimrao Ambedkar (1891–1956), India’s outstanding polymath in social and political deconstruction, is perhaps the primordial thinker-activist whose philosophy and politics laid the foundation of Basic Social Development (BSD), the primary theme of this article. Ambedkarian praxis is not a panacea to ameliorate global oppression; it’s a unique exemplar of social transformation. It’s time to rethink and reinvent SD. This postulate is a steppingstone toward a praxeological view of “planetary realism ” beyond the anthropocentric kitsch.</p> AU - Brij Mohan DA - 2022/5// DO - 10.3998/sdi.2812 IS - 3 VL - 43 PB - Michigan Publishing Services PY - 2022 TI - Dialectic of Ambedkarian Praxis T2 - Social Development Issues UR - https://journals.publishing.umich.edu/sdi/article/id/2812/ ER -
