I’m interested in the story of B.R. Ambedkar’s life and work, and I wish this book had spent more time on Ambedkar. Though the intended subject of the book seems to be Ambedkar, in focusing too much on Gandhi, it barely lets Ambedkar’s work or story speak for itself.

I don’t mean to discount the importance of Gandhi in this story, but to let Ambedkar’s life and work be defined by his opponent feels reductive.

I still learned a bunch, but I’m feeling unsatisfied.
