Ambedkar's critique of Hinduism's caste system and his advocacy for equality form the cornerstone of his social philosophy. He recognized education as the key to dismantling societal inequalities and founded the People's Education Society to provide educational opportunities to Dalit students. His educational philosophy, rooted in human rights and dignity, emphasized the transformative potential of education in building a just and equitable society. Ambedkar's mantra of "Educate, Agitate, Organize" epitomizes his approach to activism, advocating for education as a tool for empowerment, active protest against injustice, and collective organization among marginalized communities. Through a comprehensive analysis of Ambedkar's teachings and actions, this paper sheds light on the enduring relevance of his educational philosophy in confronting systemic injustices and advancing social progress. Ambedkar's advocacy for inclusive and empowering educational opportunities continues to inspire efforts to address social inequalities and ensure equal access to education. As societies grapple with persistent challenges of discrimination and inequality, Ambedkar's vision of a fair and enlightened society serves as a guiding beacon for collective action and meaningful change.
