Why social reform is necessary for economic reform

My ideal: a society based on Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity

The Arya Samajists’ “Chaturvarnya” retains the old bad castelabels

“Chaturvarnya” would face impossible difficulties in practice

“Chaturvarnya” would be the most vicious system for the Shudras

“Chaturvarnya” is nothing new; it is as old as the Vedas

Caste among Hindus is not the same as “caste” among non-Hindus

The real key to destroying Caste is rejection of the Shastras

Destroying Caste would not destroy the true principles of Religion

A true priesthood should be based on qualification, not heredity

If Hindu Society is to progress, its traditions must be able to evolve

The struggle is yours; I have now decided to leave the Hindu fold

A Vindication Of Caste By Mahatma Gandhi

A Reply to the Mahatma by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar

Caste destroys public spirit, public opinion, and public charity

Caste deprives Hindus of mutual help, trust, and fellow-feeling

Caste is a powerful weapon for preventing all reform

Preface to the Second Edition [1937]
