Ambedkar, B. R.

Revolution and counter-revolution in ancient India - New Delhi Namaskar Books 2025 - 371 p.

In Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Ancient India, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar presents a sweeping and insightful historical analysis of social and religious dynamics in ancient Indian society.
This work examines the ideological and power struggles that shaped India's past, especially focusing on the conflicts between Buddhism and Brahmanism. The book highlights how this struggle deeply influenced India's cultural and religious landscape, ultimately contributing to the decline of Buddhism in the land of its origin.
Ambedkar powerfully explores how Buddhism introduced revolutionary social change, challenging caste hierarchies and promoting equality, compassion, and rationalism—values starkly contrasted with the caste-based orthodoxy upheld by Brahmanism.
