ABSTRACT
Ambedkar was scarcely described as an economist and the reason is the foremost reluctance of the Brahmanical establishment to acknowledge him as anything more than a Dalit leader. After completing his academic studies, he plunged into public life and mainly engaged himself with battling against caste and its source ideology of Brahmanism. This chapter reviews his economics through familiar texts and tries to argue that his entire politics is fraught with economic insights and is capable of guiding the Dalits both through its successes as well as failures.
