Book Summary
About the Book: Democracys Dhamma
In 1956, B. R. Ambedkar 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.
Thinkers, activists, reformers, pilgrims, and monks from around South, Southeast
and East Asia discussed universalism, nationalism, modernity, democracy, and
caste radicalism and advocated an Indian return to Buddhism and the Buddha. This
book traces this genealogy through the Buddhist itineraries and political
projects of figures like Anagarika Dharmapala, Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath
Tagore, Jawaharlal Nehru, Vinayak
