Main Article Content

Abstract

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, one of the principal architects of the Indian Constitution, remains a global intellectual whose ideas on social justice, equality, and human dignity transcend time and geography. While he is often remembered for his struggle against caste-based discrimination in India, Ambedkar's vision was broader: he believed that lasting peace, within nations and across the world, could only arise from a foundation of social justice. This article examines Ambedkar's perspectives on social justice and analyses how his principles rooted in democracy, liberty, equality, and fraternity offer pathways to true global peace. The article argues that Ambedkar's philosophy provides not only a framework for addressing internal social inequalities but also a universal ethical model for harmonious global coexistence.
