Further reading. On the morning of 14 October 1956 at a mass rally in the Indian town of Nagpur four hundred thousand men and women turned their backs on a millennium of degradation and slavery. Finally renouncing Hinduism with its cruel system of graded inequality they turned instead to Buddhism in search of dignity hope and a path to self improvement. Over the coming months Hindu India shook as hundreds of thousands more followed their example and as the Buddha Dhamma came back to life in the land of its birth. The man solely responsible for this historic revival was Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar lawyer politician and educationalist India's first law minister chief architect of her Constitution and lifelong champion of her downtrodden millions. Born an Untouchable in village India where he was deemed unfit to drink water from public wells or to sit with children from higher caste families in the classroom Ambedkar's entire career was to become nothing less than an outright challenge to the beliefs and conventions of his society. Now as that career neared its end he was embarking on the most controversial and potentially revolutionary step of all leading his people away from Hinduism to the promised land of Buddhism. Writer teacher and founder of a worldwide Buddhist movement Sangharakshita is a leading figure in the modern Buddhist world. He knew Ambedkar personally and has himself played an important part in the Mass Conversion Movement that Ambedkar set in motion. In this book he explores the historical religious and social background to that movement and assesses the considerable contribution made by Ambedkar to the spiritual tradition in which he placed his trust. 182 pp. [New Delhi, India] [Publication Year: 2006]
