Book excerpt: B.R. Ambedkar founded NeoBuddhism, a revolutionary Buddhist societal reformation movement. Neo-Buddhism began on October 14, 1956, as a revolutionary Buddhist movement, when Ambedkar and about 4000,000 of his supporters converted to Buddhism. Since the Dalits first became Buddhist in Nagpur in 1956, Buddhism spread across India, generating different nationalist movements throughout Maharashtra State. The purpose of the study was to deal with (dis)unity in postmodern Maharashtra through interaction with and understanding the practice of a new generation of Ambedkarite group Buddhists living in Mumbai. I emphasize the two intertwined themes: first, the practice of Navayana and its influence on Buddhism developments, and second, the approach of Buddhist mobilization within traditions. Contradictions about expression, daily experiences, the meaning of tradition, and the effect of human acts on changing and transforming cultures are fundamental to the topic of analysis. The findings reveal that there are tensions between B. R. Ambedkar and Buddha's perceptions and reverence. The ambedkarite Buddhists favor the Navayana's secular and ethical values, which conflict with Ambedkar and Buddha in Maharashtra's local districts. Abuse, structural challenges, and efforts by Revolutionaries to incorporate Buddhists in Indian society generate anxiety, crisis, and radical mobilization among Buddhists. I suggest how this response is a minority defence way to protect its culture and identity. It primarily focuses on social empowerment, particularly for the Mahar group among the underprivileged. Above all, it is a movement for self-respect, equality, and justice for all people, regardless of class, caste, religion, or faith. Aside from that, as a socialist theory, Neo-Buddhism is a powerful force for religious movements founded on socioeconomic and moral ideals. In essence, it could be argued that neo-Buddhism is primarily concerned with a move that is seen as a stimulant for the well of society's oppressed classes.

Book excerpt: "The Dalits, or untouchables, in India lead an oppressed life with almost non-existent access to education or jobs. The discrimination against them continues to be ramped [sic] even in a democracy as their place in society is inseparable with the Hindu religion and its caste system. Since India's independence in 1948, there have been several attempts at reforming the caste system through political means, such as the implementation of a quota system, and also through revolt in various manners. None of these methods have substantially helped the Dalits better their situation though. This led Dalit leader Dr. B.R. Ambedkar to conclude that the only effective means of escaping the tyranny of the caste system was to convert to another religion. His religion of choice became Buddhism, and he led a mass conversion of Dalits in 1956. Since this day, there has been a large movement of Dalits converting to Buddhism as a means of evading the caste system and improving their socio-economic situation. It is an anti-caste movement, and has actually very little to do with Buddhism itself. Many converts have very little idea about the teachings of Buddhism and continue to follow Hindu traditions. The movement has increased the number of Buddhists in the country from about 3 million in 1956 to about 35 million today. The gains made by those who have converted to Buddhism are negligible though. They are still seen by upper-caste Hindus as untouchables and haven't gained any kind of new privileges. What many converts have gained is what can be described as a sort of mental liberation. They have gained a sense of self-worth and do not think of themselves as untouchables any longer. In some cases, this has led them to seek out education and better themselves in a way they didn't feel worthy of doing before"--Page [5].
