Dharmantaran Ambedkar Ki Dhamma Yatra

Conversion is a very important book on issues related to the caste system, Buddhist values, and the question of gender. Brilliantly edited by Ratan Lal, this book is essential for all those committed to the values of social change towards equality and social justice. -Prof. Ram Puniyani Conversion has been taking place in India for centuries. The majority of conversions have been by the Dwijas. However, the conversion of Dalits became a controversial topic in the twentieth century, as Dr. Ambedkar called upon the Dalit castes, who were suffering from untouchability, to abandon Hinduism for their liberation. Dr. Ratan Lal has done a very important work for students of literature and history by bringing together this entire debate in this book. -Kanwal Bharti Conversion plays a significant role in the thoughts and strategies of Babasaheb Ambedkar. Today, as we stand on the threshold of becoming a Hindu nation, these thoughts and strategies can be viewed in this context. Ratan Lal has painstakingly compiled Babasahebs views on religious conversion, scattered across 15,000 pages of his voluminous writings and speeches, into this book. I am confident that Hindi readers will gratefully accept it. - Anand Teltumbde This comprehensive selection of Babasaheb Ambedkars writings and speeches on religious conversion provides a clear picture of his views on the subject. Ratan Lal has written a detailed introduction, which provides a historical framework for understanding Babasahebs perspective on religious conversion. - Ashok Gopal This book, edited by Ratan Lal, reveals the relationship of the modern thinker Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar with traditional ideas and practices like religion. Why did he find religion essential, and why did he turn to Buddhism? The introduction to this book is a must-read because it explores, with intellectual neutrality, the inner conflicts within Dr. Ambedkar regarding religion. - Prof. Apoorvanand
