Buddhist outfit plans mass conversions of dalits Bangalore, Oct 3. (PTI): A Buddhist organisation today claimed it was mobilising two lakh Dalits to give up Hinduism and embrace Buddhism at a function here on October 14, the day Babasaheb Ambedkar embraced Buddhism 48 years ago. "Dalits are suffering because of the caste hierarchy in Hinduism. We will embrace Buddhism which will restore our self-respect", R A Audi, Working President of the committee formed for the event, told reporters here. He said the outfit was trying to mobilise nearly two lakh Dalits to become Buddhists without any coercion or allurements. Audi said various Dalit organisations, literateurs, intellectuals and social activists were working for the event. "Buddhism is a scientific religion that is without the caste system and gives equality to all", he said. |
