right|thumb|B. R. Ambedkar (1891–1956) Ambedkarism is called as the teaching, ideology or philosophy of B. R. Ambedkar, an Indian economist, barrister, social reformer, and the first of Minister of Law and Justice in the first cabinet of Jawaharlal Nehru.
Ambedkar completed his doctoral studies at the University of Columbia under the guidance of his professor John Dewey. Dewey's philosophy of Pragmatism heavily influenced Ambedkar's worldview. Ambedkarism includes special focus on subjects such as fraternity, democracy, communal electorates, conversion out of Hinduism, political power, rule of law, Navayana, among others.
