Abstract:

Since the first mass conversion of Dalits to Buddhism in 1956, followers of B. R. Ambedkar's vision have propagated Buddhism throughout India, creating various activist networks across, but not limited to, Maharashtra. Despite their aspirations for socio-political change and emancipation for marginalized communities experiencing caste discrimination, Ambedkarite Buddhists have faced challenges in mobilization and organization since the demise of Ambedkar. This article addresses the struggle of building a sense of collectivity within the Ambedkarite Buddhist population, offering insights from t

Abstract:

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s engagement with Buddhism was a revolutionary act aimed at dismantling caste oppression and establishing an egalitarian society. His reinterpretation of Buddha Dhamma—often referred to as Navayana Buddhism—was not just a spiritual transformation but a socio-political movement against Brahmanical dominance. This research explores the core principles of Buddhism, including Dhamma (righteousness), Sila (morality), and Prajna (wisdom), and their relevance in addressing caste-based discrimination. Ambedkar’s reinterpretation of Buddhism emphasized rationality, social equality, an

Abstract:

This article analyzes the town of Mahad, Maharashtra, using it as a lens to examine protests and commemorations that are inseparable from Ambedkarite and Neo-Buddhist transformations of space. A key site of anti-caste struggle, Mahad witnessed two major protests led by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in 1927: the claiming of water from Chavdar Tale, a tank located in a Brahmin neighborhood; and the burning of the Manusmriti. These events are commemorated every year with large-scale festivities. The article analyzes the ways that these protests and festivities have worked to produce a distinctly Ambedkarite

Abstract:

AbstractIn the first decade after Indian independence in 1947, the secular Indian state projected a vision of itself as being guided by universal ethics rooted in the nation's ancient Buddhist past. From the circulation of Buddhist relics in distant lands to the reinvention and incorporation of Buddhist symbols in contemporary state regalia, the government sponsored a wide variety of programmes in the name of world peace, Pan-Asian unity, and enlightened democratic values that promoted Buddhism both within India and across Asia. This more than decades-long effort was entirely the outcome of th

Abstract This article focuses on Angela Moorjani’s book Beckett and Buddhism (2021) to advance a transtextual framework for understanding Beckett’s Buddhist and non-European influences. Though ‘transtext’ is mentioned by Moorjani, it is not elaborately theorized by her. I theorize this idea from Gérard Genette’s narratology to account for the mediated, multi-layered influences Moorjani reads in her book. I posit the transtextual operation as an outside-in movement where the context pushes the text from its surroundings and build on the political aspect of this transtextual influence by importi

Abstract:

Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891–1956), a Dalit leader born in the caste of Mahars, received an excellent Western education and advocated the abolition of caste discrimination, is an extremely significant person in the scheduled caste community of modern India. Having given the oppressed castes the opportunity to acquire a new social identity through the adoption of Buddhism, Ambedkar became in their eyes a hero-liberator. Attention to the personality and legacy of Ambedkar began to grow steadily against the background of the arrival in politics of people from the scheduled castes, who were oppose

Abstract:

Scholars have presented Buddhist discourse in Maharashtra- the western part of India, as an expression of protest and emancipation of the former untouchable caste Mahar. But in the recent past, people coming from different social backgrounds belonging to non-Mahar castes have adopted Buddhism. Now it has become the collective discourse of protest of different castes and tribes. This paper, an outcome of my anthropological study concerns with changing consciousness among non-Mahar castes regarding conversion to Buddhism as a tool of resistance to overcome caste inequalities.

Abstract:

This essay will study the relationship of religion and politics in the context of two specific liturgical practices. These practices originate in the historical congregations formed during the Liberation Theology movement in Latin America and in the context of the neo-Buddhist Ambedkarite movements in India. The idea of the congregation will be articulated with the liturgical logic of “public service” in so far as the Greek word(s) for liturgy refers both to the physical assembly of citizens and the structural capacity for creating a space for the “common.” Coupling congregation with the colle

Abstract:

Navayana Buddhism is an interpretation of Buddhism popularized by Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891-1956)--India's constitutionalist, political visionary, economist, and anti-caste activist--for the upliftment of the low-caste Dalit community. While the history of Buddhism is much older, the history of Navayana Buddhism effectively began in 1956 with the mass conversion of millions of Dalits under the leadership of Dr. Ambedkar. The mass conversion occurred in Nagpur, a city in the present-day state of Maharashtra, India. Today, Navayana Buddhism is a global community. The bibliography includes
