Democracys Dhamma: Buddhism in the making of modern India, c.1890-1956,

Surendran, Gitanjali

Edited/Translated by: Series Editor: Asad Q. Ahmed et al.

In 1956, B.R. Ambedka publicly converted to Buddhism, raising questions about his turn from constitutionalism to religion. The answer lies in Buddhism itself. In the late colonial era, the struggle to produce an appropriate Buddhism for a nation-in-the-making reveals a secret history foundational to modern India.
