Abstract
Dr. Ambedkar is famously known as the father of the Indian Constitution. This article goes beyond this epithet and explores Ambedkar's jurisprudential contributions to Indian law. The article argues that Ambedkar saw the rules of caste as law and in the state's legal intervention to combat caste-based discrimination articulated the importance of both norm creation and having a procedure for enforcement-ideas that continue to influence law-making till date. Further, the article identifies "fraternity" and "constitutional morality" from the Ambedkarite corpus as key legal concepts, and stresses upon their relevance in finding solutions to problems that India faces today
