Book Summary
About the Book: Buddhism in India: Challenging Brahminism and Caste
'The history of India is a history of the mortal conflict between Brahmanism and
Buddhism.
B.R. Ambedkar
Building on this premise, Gail Omvedt presents a radical new history of India.
She rekindles the residual fire of Buddhism and shows us how—as the flame of
enlightenment—it was a singular challenge to Brahmanic Hinduism. This pioneering
work accounts for 2, 500 years of the development of Buddhism, Brahmanism and
caste in India. Brahmanism emphasised magic and ritual, rules and hierarchy,
whereas Buddhism emphasised rationality and ethics, principles and
individuality.
Drawing on original sources from the Buddhist canon and recent literature,
Omvedt
