FOREWORD

 

It is with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow that I associate myself with this memorable but posthumous publication by our society of “the Buddha and his Dhamma” of the late Dr. Ambedka, the founder Chairman of the Society. The book is not only Dr. Ambedkar’s monumental work but also his memorial enshrining the noblest fruit of his massive intellect. This book has taken its shape after his much arduous study and research. This is his precious offering to Siddharth. The writing of this work was a veritable labour of love to Dr. Ambedkar who came under the compelling influence of Siddharth, the apostle of reason. This book therefore can be fittingly remarked as the culmination of his labours on this earth.

Dr. Ambedkar was brought up in an exemplary religious atmosphere. A follower of Kabir, his father was a meticulous observer of the precepts of his Panth. He insisted that his children read something every day which elevated them. Dr.Ambedkar and his elder brother therefore had to read aloud every day some portion of the Mahabharata and the Ramayana before going to bed. When asked why the Mahabharata should be read, he was told by his father that he believed that the exploits of Drona and Karna would disabuse him of an inferiority complex, because they had their humble origin to start with. Similarly, he was preached about walmiki who wrote the Ramayana. The daily reading of these two books by the young Ambedkar acquainted him richly with the Hindu mythology and imparted a religious sentiment in him. On his getting through the middle school final examination this young boy was introduced to Dada Keluskar who was a friend of his father. Dada Keluskar once presented to this young man his own book on the life of Buddha. Much that he read in this book conflicted with what he had learnt in the two Hindu mythologies.
