En savoir plus sur le livre
The book explores the significant conversion of Bhimrao Ambedkar and the Mahar community to Buddhism, highlighting its role in combating social inequality and caste discrimination. It examines the dual objectives of this conversion: the social ascension of the Mahars and a broader reform movement aimed at transforming Indian society. By contrasting traditional Hindu hierarchies with Buddhist ideals of equality and justice, the author presents Buddhism as a dynamic space for discursive practices rather than a rigid belief system, thus challenging conventional understandings of Buddhism itself.
