Ambedkar Jayanti: Here is a look at the differences Dr Ambedkar had with Mahatma Gandhi over caste and untouchability.

Some terms from this article:

SC - Scheduled Castes, groups that have historically faced social discrimination, “untouchability,” and exclusion based on the caste system. They are often referred to as “Dalits.”

ST - Scheduled Tribes, communities that are recognized as indigenous or tribal populations. They are typically characterized by their distinct culture, language, and social practices.

OBC - Other Backwards Classes (yes, this is the official government term) - communities that are socially and educationally “backward” but do not fall under the SC or ST categories.

Brahmin and Shudra - Two of the four main social classes (Varna) in the Hindu caste system. Brahmin were historically superior, intellectuals and priests. Shudra were servants and laborers.
