In his writings in English, Babasaheb Ambedkar often borrowed the language of other thinkers to express his own views on different subjects. One such instance was his use of an example given by the British constitutional theorist A.V. Dicey. Arguing against a popular view that the British Parliament enjoyed unlimited powers, Dicey, citing another British thinker, Leslie Stephen, observed that Parliament could not conceivably pass a law enforcing the murder of all blue-eyed babies. Ambedkar used the example literally to make another argument: Group interests, which are not entirely constituted under the Marxist frame of class interest, restrict the scope for actions toward the common good. As an antidote to that situation, Ambedkar advocated assured representation to minorities in legislatures and public services. At the same time, he thought about a society that would rise above group interests. That quest led him towards Buddhism. Ambedkar's use of Dicey's example is thus richly meaningful, drawing attention to his rhetorical method and some of his core ideas.
