What is more revolutionary and indomitably courageous about Ambedkar and this work is that he questions the very authority of the vedas, upanishads and manu smritis itself. Although caste, a necessary adjustment by the society to keep the religion intact, has been objected by many other forerunners previously to Ambedkar, from Raja Ram Mohan Roy to Mahatma Gandhi, it has always sprung back with a rejuvenated force, for it derived its root from the fundamental philosophy of the Hinduism. The boon and the bane of Hinduism is the fact that both the philosophy and religion is so intricately weaved around its core faith. There is an underlying indignation, fierce and untainted, rightfully directed towards years of unwarranted injustice. Lucid, powerful and scholarly the treatise provides a thorough insight of how and why caste plagues the life of millions. Originally conceived as a speech for Jat-Pat-Todak Mandal, an organization of Caste Hindu Social Reformers, it was later published by Ambedkar himself, for the organization refused to allow him to give his speech in the original form. It encapsulates the ideas of a rebel of how caste and religion oppresses people - socially, morally and economically.

I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.Īt any rate, that is what we are going to try to do.

Shriver’s characters are contemplating when and how to die rather than if, and the book has moments of profundity, especially when its characters’ heads and hearts refuse to align. Of course, it is no more an option to “stay” in any permanent way for Kay and Cyril than it is for any of us. Should We Stay or Should We Go is sometimes funny, often diverting, always driving towards an urgent answer to its question. “You’re the one who had to go on that big Trafalgar demonstration against the poll tax – which would have raised money for social care and a great deal else,” says Kay to her husband, somewhat formally. Snippets of dialogue between Kay (who voted Leave in the referendum) and Cyril (an ardent Remainer) seem more for exposition’s sake than reflective of their intimacy. Unsurprisingly for a book that privileges philosophising over narrative drive, Should We Stay or Should We Go features a lot of arguments which, one senses, Shriver herself would like to be having. |
