Ambedkar, organized by the Embassy of India and the Department of Modern Languages and Business Communication, ASE, on 14 April 2016 at The Bucharest University of Economic Studies. It presents Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s groundbreaking work in laying the foundation of the new Indian state at the dawn of Independence. The article emphasizes the postcolonial perspective of bringing peripheral groups in central position in a shift of power relations triggered by a new social, economic and political reality. The principle of intersectionality is privileged in this analysis of caste and gender, as constituents of Dr. Ambedkar’s servant leadership style.
