Ambedkar and Buddhism

Price: £7.19

Quantity

This is the remarkable and stirring story of India's first Law Minister, Dr B.R. Ambedkar. In 1956, Dr Ambedkar started the most important social revolution occurring in India today: the conversion from Hinduism to Buddhism of millions of Indians wishing to escape the degradation of the caste system. Born into the community formerly known as 'Untouchable', his entire career was to become an outright challenge to the beliefs and conventions of his society.

Sangharakshita knew Ambedkar personally, and himself played an important part in the mass conversion movement that Ambedkar set in motion.
