Buddhism in India pdf free download. This book grew, in an unintended and almost spontaneous process, out of the ‘Dalit Visions’ project sponsored by the Karuna Trust in England. ‘Dalit Visions’ was conceived of in discussions with G. Aloysius, Raj Kumar, Bharat Patankar and others as an open-ended project of translation that would bring forward the philosophical, ideological and historical contributions of the major men and women intellectuals of India’s radical anti-caste movements.

The first round of the project included translations of the writings of Jotirao Phule (Maharashtra), Iyothee Thassar (Tamil Nadu) and Bhima Bhoi (Orissa) done throughout the 1999–2002 period.These were originally to be accompanied with a survey, provided by me, of Buddhism in modern India, which would provide a framework for looking at these works. This was what turned into a project much longer than at first envisaged.

Looking at Buddhism in modern India required some knowledge of the original texts; this led me first into an intensive reading of translations of Pali literature and then into looking at interpretations of these and using the perspective for a re-study of the history of ancient India. It has been an absorbing and exciting process, reshaping much of my own understanding of Indian history and society. The results are visible in the book before you.
