Brief Description of Some of the Best Selling Books
- The problem of Rupee: Its origin and its Solution – The book examines the issues that Indian money faced during a time when local enterprises and the British government were at odds, which significantly impacted the value of the Indian currency.In order to sell their goods in India, Dr. Ambedkar claimed that the British administration kept the exchange rate too high (overvalued). It’s important to note that an overvalued currency makes imports cheaper and exports more expensive. The book promotes the stabilisation of monetary policy and currency rates. In the end, it sparked the establishment of the Reserve Bank of India in 1935.
- Who were the Shudras – In this work, Ambedkar makes the case that the Shudras were once Kshatriya-class Aryans. Ambedkar contends further that the Brahmins are responsible for the Shudras’ degradation. Additionally, connections have been made between the widespread acceptance of Mahars as untouchables and outcasts in Hinduism, and their embrace of Buddhist practises. In a different chapter, Dr. Ambedkar also discusses his opinion on the 1947 Partition of India, stating that if the Muslim community demanded its own state, it was important to protect their interests because doing otherwise would endanger the security and stability of India and increase the likelihood of a rebellion soon after the country’s independence.
