If someone asks you to read this book cover to cover without any hints of its name and, in the end asks you to name it. Most readers would concur the title is truly deserving of the pages that follow.

Written in 1936, with the right vantage point of earlier Indian history and set social hierarchy of the time. This book helps reader realize forces that were in play during India's struggle of Freedom and how inept, uneducated and selective each school of thought was towards social reforms. The lingering effects of which can be seen today, which further help prove that author's point.

Outside the content of the book, This book can be a good learning opportunity for the readers on “How to make a point”. Ambedkar indeed is one of the best intellectual India has ever produced.
