Ambedkar and Nelson Mandela's Humanistic Activism: A Comparative Study Authors/Creators Aezaz Ahamed Description This research article explores the humanistic activism of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Nelson Mandela, two leaders who fought systemic oppression in India and South Africa. Dr. Ambedkar’s activism centered on annihilating caste and assertion for equality in constitutional democracy, while Nelson Mandela’s struggle dismantled the apartheid system and emphasized reconciliation through Ubuntu. Though their strategies differed-Ambedkar relied on law and education, Nelson Mandela on forgiveness and unity-both leaders envisioned societies rooted in dignity and justice. Their comparative legacies highlight complementary models of social justice: structural transformation and moral reconciliation. Files 1. Aezaz Ahamed.pdf Files (408.3 kB) Name Size Download all 1.
