In his insightful book, "The Evolution of Pragmatism in India," Scott R. Stroud delves into the profound impact of John Dewey's pragmatism on Bhimrao Ambedkar, the visionary architect of India's constitution. Stroud meticulously traces Ambedkar's journey, from his enrollment in Dewey's Columbia University classes in 1913 to his final years in India during the 1950s, when he rewrote the narrative of Buddhism. Through this comprehensive examination, Stroud explores the far-reaching influence of pragmatism on Ambedkar's philosophical ideas, particularly his unwavering fight against caste oppression. He also uncovers how Ambedkar's persuasive techniques drew upon pragmatism's commitment to reconstruction and meliorism. However, Stroud is equally attentive to highlighting the ways in which Ambedkar departed from Dewey's paradigm and developed his unique approach to addressing the challenges facing India. The result is a nuanced and profound study of one of the most influential figures in Indian history.
