Straight up, Ambedkar and Gandhi were on totally different wavelengths, even if they both wanted a better India.
Politics? Gandhi wanted moral transformation through peaceful resistance. Ambedkar wanted legal and institutional safeguards β like actual power for the powerless.
Economics? Gandhi was anti-industrial, into villages. Ambedkar said thatβs not gonna cut it for the poor β he backed modern industry and state intervention.
Social reform? Gandhi saw untouchability as evil, but still supported caste in theory. Ambedkar said caste is poison, period. He fought to end it β full stop.
Their impact? Gandhi moved hearts. Ambedkar moved systems. Both mattered, but if you’re talking about long-term foundations β Ambedkar built the house.
