| World citizenship | Democracy | Ambedkar, B. R. (Bhimrao Ramji), 1891-1956 -- Political and social viewsAdditional Physical Form: Print version : 9780190869502DDC classification: 327.101 Online resources: Oxford scholarship online Summary: Cosmopolitanism is said by many critics to be arrogant. In emphasizing universal moral principles and granting no fundamental significance to national or other group belonging, it is held to wrongly treat those making non-universalist claims as not authorized to speak, while at the same time implicitly treating those in non-Western societies as not qualified. This text works to address such objections. It does so in part by engaging the work of B.R. Ambedkar, architect of India's 1950 Constitution and revered champion of the country's Dalits (formerly 'untouchables').
