%

ideas; writings and outlook could well be characterized as belonging to

that trend of thought called Social Humanism. He developed a socio-

ethical philosophy and steadfastly stood for human dignity and freedom,

socio-economic justice, material prosperity and spiritual discipline.

He showed the enlightening path for Indian society via his ideals of

freedom, equality and fraternity and made India a democratic country.

We can see his vastness of his vision in the 'preamble' to the Constitution of

India. It may be considered as the soul of Constitution. The preamble can

be referred to as the preface which highlights the essence of the entire

Constitution Dr. Meena also criticised Dr. B.R.Ambedkar in regard to

avadance of Indegeinous people of India in Indian constitution.

Chairperson’s Address:

Dr. Lallan Singh Baghel, Chairperson, Department of Philosophy, Panjab

University, Chandigarh was the Chairperson for the inaugural session. In his

address entitled “Re-conceptualizing Ambedkar’s ideas on Identity,

Social justice and Emancipation in the age of neo-liberal globalization:

Raising a few normative concerns”. He said that in the recent times there

has been an emergence of a dialogue amongst social scientists and

political philosophers concerning questions of experience and theory, thus

these social scientists and philosophers are raising question of agency ,

who has legitimate right to theorise the experience , is it the one who has

gone through the experience of humiliation/rejection/

discrimination/deprivation/disadvantage and other forms of

discriminations based on caste, gender, class and race, or the one who is

doing theory , does not necessarily need experience, and she/he can do

theory without having the experience of any kind of discrimination in

her/his life.


6/19

'

Cracked Mirror, is a seminal book by Prof. Gopal Guru and Prof. Sunder

Sarrukai, has generated this debate amongst Indian social scientists and

Philosophers. Interestingly, the theme of seminar is on evaluating the

relevance of Ambedkar’s thought to contemporary Indian society, which

is facing onslaught of neo-liberal globalization on the one hand and

shrinking democratic spaces of secularism and social justice on the other.

Therefore, in this paper an attempt would be made to understand the

critical map of Ambedkar’s modernity and its promise to make Indian

society just and egalitarian in political outlook.


7/19

(

There are two broad contours of argument to be made in the paper , the

first deals with question of identity discourse in the light of Ambedkar’s

ideas on caste annihilation and its theoretical responses to address the

multilayered political aspirations of social justice within the realms of

Indian substantive democracy and to delineate, how far Dalit discourse

has been to capture the nuanced meanings of emancipation from

Ambedkar’s perspective, or Dalit discourse has only created the markers

of Identity and recognition , but it has yet to address concerns of

distributive justice . Another part of argument concerns with question of

neo-liberal globalization and its bearing on political efficacy of caste

,gender and class in making of Indian democracy from perspective ofmarginal citizen. The last and conclusive part of paper engages with

question of theory and experience of caste and other kinds of

deprivations. Its reiterating again to understand the legitimacy of

experience and agency , can we really move beyond Dalit discourses on

the one hand and derivative discourses on the other to develop an

authentic philosophical and cognitive map to understand contemporary

relevance of Ambedkar and his world of emancipation.
