Aryans, further he refer that nepotism resulted in to creating false history by the Brahmins.

there for he rebuts the previous methods of noting history and redesign history with the highest
rationality and objectivity.
Methodology:
Objectives of the Study:
1. To know the Dr. B R Ambedkars contribution to Indian History
2. To Analyze the Indian history with the facts and fingers given by the Dr. B R Ambedkar
Research Design
Researcher adopted descriptive and explorative research design. Descriptive method was taken in to
the consideration to examine sublet in-depth. Explorative design helps to find the new ideas with
the scientific approach. The study was conducted on the basis of secondary sources of data.
Historical Analysis
Magadha
Ambedkar starts scientific historical investigation in Bihar and discover that the Magadha Empire
of the 642 BC was the first independent empire of India and which was established by the
Shishunag who belongs to the Naga race that is non-Aryan race. Hence Dr. B R. Ambedkar defines
the Indian history as a conflict between Aryans and Non-Aryans.
Mourya Empire:
There is only one period in Indian history which is a period of freedom, greatness and glory. That
is the period of the Mourya Empire. Since from the first king of mourya Chandragupta Mourya
followed by the Bindusar, Ashok Chakravarti, and last king Brahdruta, Mourya empire established
world’s largest democracy of contemporary days. 150 years feaceful, democratic, and glories
administration considered as the golden era of Indian political history. Honesty, Independence,
equality, brotherhoodness was the pillars of the administration during the period of samrat Ashok.
at all other times the country suffered from defeat.
The murder of last king Brihadratha Mourya by pushymitra has unfortunately gone unnoticed, after
the death of Brihadrata, pushymitra become self-declared king of the MouryaEmpire and he
completely ignores the philosophy of Mourya and establishes Manusmirti as the code of conduct
and put the entire system in to darkness. His administration was completely away with honesty and
independence, administration system denies the rights of Nagas or Non Aryans. Since from they
were suffered by the all the basic amenities and fundamental rights, annoyed all the ways and they
were ill-treated during this period. Dr. Ambedkar s research on these issues helped a lot to find the
difficulties of these communities throughout the history and he himself prepared such a wonderful

constitutional provisions for them by that these communities become sustainable and find the self-
respect and dignity in independent India.
Errors of history:
History is not to be studied merely with a view to know how well to imitate the mistakes of other
countries. Wemust study history with a view to know the errors people have made and how they
could be avoided.History is not always example more often it is awarning. Dr. B R Ambedkar finds
the various errors in Indian political history as well as finds the errors in the religious history of it.
He finds those errors with non-biased attitude and promotes the Buddhas words, Truth is truth and
untruth is untruth. Therefore responsible citizens of this country should not every historical event
with the objectivity not with the influence of subjectivity. He gives the serious not on his
acceptance to go back to Buddhism: “ I Am not converting to Budhhism I am simply going back to
my home which was my original entity which is world finest religion called Buddha Dhamma”
Nagas History:
“Nagas were non-Aryans and there existed. Fierce enmity between the Aryans and Nagas…We are
supposed to be the descendants of that Nagas…It is these Nagas who spread Buddhism all over the
world. The political history of India begins with the rise of a Non-Aryan people called Nagas, who
were a powerful people. Whatever fame and glory India achieved in ancient times in political field
the credit for it goes entirely to Non-Aryan Nagas. It is they who made India great and glories in
the annals of the world.
Role of layman in construction of History.
Dr. B R Ambedkar describes the role of the common civil in developing history with the
objectivity:
 It is quite wrong to hold that man is not a factor in the making of history. Man is necessary to
rub two pieces of flint to make fire.
 Man is a factor in the making of history and the environmental forces, whether impersonal or
social if they are, they are, the first and not the least things.
Evaluation of History:
An historian ought to be exact, sincere and impartial free from passion, unbiased by interest, fear,
resentment of affection and faithful to the truth, which is the mother of history. thepreserver of
great actions ,the enemy of oblivion the witness of the past, the director of the future. In short he
must have an open mind, though it may not be an empty mind, and readiness to examine all
evidence even though it bespurious.
