Philosopher Acharya Prashant champions caste equality and Dalit dignity, drawing from Vedantic philosophy and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's legacy. He argues that caste distinctions lack spiritual validity, citing texts like the Vajrasuchika Upanishad to assert that the Atman (Self) is beyond caste. Prashant differentiates between the core of Hindu philosophy, which he finds devoid of caste hierarchy, and later social codes, emphasizing the dignity of marginalized communities in his widely followed public discourse.
