Baby Kamble’s The Prisons We Broke: Breaking Free: Impacted By Dr. B.R Ambedkar

Abstract

Out of poverty, superstitions, oppression and caste system in India, enlightened people like Baby Kamble have found a new way for self-assertion. Since the caste system denied education to shudras and panchamas, anti-caste writing was a way in which the oppressed were retaliating against the oppressors. It was a psychological literature. Baby Kamble’s work is an autobiography.She portrays vividly the plight of her community, she also expresses her debt of gratitude to Dr. Ambedkar for his efforts in opening the eyes of the people. He makes them realize their oppression and enlightens the Mahar community.He shows them the path of liberty, equality and fraternity. He was the first Indian to break down the barriers in the way of advance of women in India. The present paper is an attempt to highlight how the Mahars were delivered from the strongholds of evil customs through the impact of the great and noble leaders like Ambedkar.
