“…Dr B. R. Ambedkar was very well aware of the historical roots of his social criticism. He was very keen to press that democracy must have historical roots in India so that the people of India would defend it adequately (Patnaik, 2018, p. 132). He argued that parliamentary democracy can be traced back in Indian history to Gautam Buddha’s time.…”

Dr B. R. Ambedkar was a staunch believer in parliamentary democracy. He viewed that the most precedent condition for working it is the participation of the educated public opinion. By placing the features of Siddharth College of Arts and Science, Bombay (1946), the article explores the interface between Dr B. R. Ambedkar’s ideas of social democracy and higher education pragmatically. The article predominantly draws from the secondary data, especially from the annual magazine of the college from 1946 to 1981. It uses document analysis as a method of inquiry. The article shows the significance of Siddharth College and outlines Dr B. R. Ambedkar’s attempts to develop an alternative as well as an emancipatory educational model. For him, decentralisation of the educational system through the process of social endosmosis was requisite in the reformation of a democratic society, thus an integral part of his nation-building project.
