About the Book: Buddha and His Dhamma: A Life Reimagined Through Reason,
Compassion, and Clarity
The Buddha and His Dhamma was the final work of B. R. Ambedkar, published after
his death. It offers a distinctive reinterpretation of Buddhist thought and
literature, centring on Ambedkars vision of Buddhism as a path for social
transformation, particularly for the liberation and upliftment of Dalits. The
book reflects his understanding of the life and teachings of Gautama Buddha,
blending narrative episodes with a detailed examination of core philosophical
principles. It also draws upon key elements of the Buddhist canon and tradition
to make these ideas more accessible to readers.
