This Book ‘Dr B.R. Ambedkar : True Leader, not a false God’ is written as a rejoinder to Mr. Arun Shourie’s book ‘Worshipping False Gods’ inwhich Mr. Shourie had made various allegations against Dr Ambedkar. The author has tried to give point-to-point rebuttal of Mr. Shourie insinuation against Dr. Ambedkar.

The book tries to cover Dr. Ambedkar’s work from 1932 to 1953—Poona Pact to his resignation from Nehru's Cabinet; his struggle for political and social empowerment of his people(depressed class) and confrontation with Mahatma Gandhi over issue of reservation for depressed class; his tenure as member of Executive Council of Viceroy and his attitude towards Quit India Movement, and finally his work in the formation of the Constitution as Chairman of Drafting Committee. A separate chapter is also added, which is summary of his seminal work‘Thoughts on Pakistan’ to dispel the wrong notion that he was in support of demand for Pakistan. Dr. Ambedkar’s speech while resigning from the Nehru Cabinet is also added as last chapter to highlight his commitment to Hindu Code Bill,which he termed as biggest reform of Hindu society and his frustration and anguish over his failure to get it passed in Parliament.

This book is both allegorical and has the evidence of concealed truths. The multitude of lies, that have come through the minds of ungodly men and women, which were made to be manifested by Satan, are about to be destroyed with the Truth. Everyone that is of a lie or of evil will face the Judgments of the Truth. If you decided to read this book, you will be obligated in the Day of Judgment of its contents. THE GREATEST MEN AND WOMEN ON EARTH ARE AFRAID TO READ THIS BOOK.

Over the last couple of decades, B.R. Ambedkar has come to be idolized as no other political leader has. His statue is one of the largest in the Parliament complex. Political parties have reaped rich electoral dividends riding on his name. A decades-old cartoon of him in a textbook rocked Parliament for days recently, causing parties across the political spectrum to run for cover and call for the withdrawal of the 'offending' cartoon. In Worshipping False Gods, Arun Shourie employs his scholarly rigour to cast a critical look at the legend of Ambedkar. With his distinctive eye for detail, Shourie delves into archival records to ask pertinent questions: Did Ambedkar coordinate his opposition to the freedom struggle with the British? How does his approach to social change contrast with that of Mahatma Gandhi's? Did the Constitution spring from him or did it grow as a dynamic living organism? Passionately argued and based on a mountain of facts that it presents, Worshipping False Gods compels us to go behind the myths on which discourse is built in India today.

In an age where history is a global battleground and fake news proliferates, culture wars are being waged across India over its future – majoritarian or inclusive, neoliberal or socialist, religious or secular? Fake Gods and False History takes us to the BDD Chawls, a central Mumbai neighbourhood of tenement blocks (chawls) on the brink of a controversial redevelopment. It reveals how contested narratives of Indian history play out in the daily life of this divided neighbourhood and how the legacies of certain godlike but very human historical figures, such as Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar and Chhatrapati Shivaji, are invoked by different communities. Jonathan Galton draws on research conducted among the formerly untouchable Dalit Buddhist community, who are staunchly opposed to the redevelopment plans and deeply critical of the religious nationalism they perceive in their Hindu neighbours. We also meet young male migrants living in village-linked dormitory rooms called Gramastha Mandals, trapped in a liminal space between urban and rural. Throughout the book, which is woven through with candid reflections on methodology and research ethics, readers are challenged into drawing connections with their own experiences of history impinging on their lives. A story that might initially seem parochial will thus resonate with a diverse global audience.
