The final manuscript of the famous book, The Buddha & His Dhamma (W&S Vol.11, 1992) was lying beside the bed in which Dr. Ambedkar died. Babasaheb, it is said, was then giving his final touches to this book to which he devoted so much of attention and wrote it to resemble exactly the Bible. He took so much care and poured so much pain to perfect his magnum opus.
Budhism would have finished Hinduism, the latest name for Brahminism, if only Babasaheb was allowed to live for five more years after his historic conversion at Nagpur. But he was killed within a couple months as it is now becorfiing clear following the DV Debate on the Brahminical conspiracy behind his sudden death (DV April 1, 2004, p.9: “Dr. Ambedkar killed by a Brahminical conspiracy?”).
Nonsense of non-violence: The Enemy was aware of the dangers of Babasaheb’s. brand of Bhim-Yana Budhism, which militarised the ancient Dhamma by giving it an entirely new interpretation.
Babasaheb discarded the Mahabodhi brand of Brahminical Budhism which tried to make cows and goats out of Dalits. There was no room for soul, karma, rebirth or the nonsense of nonviolence.
Nowhere did Babasaheb speak of meditation. We are reproducing the full text of the “Introduction’ to the Book written by Babasaheb himself in which he has raised “four puzzles” caused by Brahminical
Itis Budhism.. through these “puzzles” the Brahmins destroyed Budhism. Babasaheb knew this and tried to tackle them in his Bhim-Yana Budhism. But are the Dalits, who embraped Budhism following the footsteps of Babasaheb, aware of these “puzzles”?
Vipassana kills revolution: We are not interested in those who are trying to introduce elements like Vipassana to kill the revolutionary spirit in Dalit Budhists. Such of them are doing their duty.
But the children of Babasaheb must be aware of the “four puzzles” raised by Babasaheb and how he tried to steer clear of them in his brand of. Bhim- Yanay However, Budhism.
We are sorry to note our people, the children of Babasaheb, being bewitched by the very same “four puzzles”. Babasaheb wrote this book in 1956, and the book was published in 1992. It is now 2004 – about 50 years have lapsed. And yet instead of following the revolutionary path shown by our father we are getting enslaved by following our Enemy — EDITOR.
