A Part apart : The life and thought of B. R. Ambedkar. /Ashok Gopal. - New Delhi : Navayana , 2023. - 863p. : 24cm.

Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891–1956) is the most iconised historical figure in India. Born into a caste deemed ‘unfit for human association’, he established what it means to be human. How, why and when did Ambedkar turn against Hinduism? What were his quarrels with Gandhi and Savarkar? Why did he come to see himself as Moses? From which streams of thought did Ambedkar brew his philosophies? What did this life of the mind cost him? What do we owe the man who modernised India with the Constitution? How did he reinterpret the Buddha’s ideas as saddhamma?

Sifting every source in Marathi and English, Ashok Gopal seeks answers to all the questions one can ask about Babasaheb Ambedkar. A Part Apart is the story of the unrelenting toil and struggle that went into the making of a legend.
