| Abstract | This thesis discusses related to Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891-1956) and Modern Indian Buddhist Social Movements. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, Indian Buddhism was revived. Anagarika Dharmapala (1864-1933) was a Sri Lankan who came to India and founded the Maha Bodhi Society to revitalize Buddhism in India. In his time, the Buddha statue became the icon of Hinduism, and Buddhists were not allowed to worship it. As a result, Anagarika Dharmapala launched a protest movement.
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar was a visionary leader, social reformer, and defender of the rights of untouchable groups in India. This thesis explores Dr. Ambedkar's major contribution to the modern Indian Buddhist social movements. It explores at how his ideals affected social justice and equality as well as how he revived Buddhism in India. Dr. Ambedkar's endure from growing up as an “Untouchable” to drafting the Indian Constitution influenced the scholar's perspective on discrimination and social injustice. He adopted Buddhism in 1956 after becoming frustrated with the rooted caste system, leading to a historic conversion movement that remains evident today.
It discusses the appeal for the abolition of caste, emphasizing the necessity of destroying the social hierarchy that supported discrimination. Buddhism was seen by Dr. Ambedkar as a liberating force that could oppose suppressive ideals and provide everyone dignity and equality life.
The thesis also discusses contemporary relevance of Dr. Ambedkar's ideas and their impact on the modern Indian Buddhist social movement. In various aspects of Indian society, it examines how his teachings continue to encourage grassroots activism, the development of social organizations, and the pursuit of social justice.
The contributions of Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar to the contemporary Indian Buddhist social movements have had a significant and lasting influence. His ideas, support for social equality, and focus on education have sparked a revolutionary movement that questions the present status and works to create a society that is more inclusive and fair. By studying his legacy, we may learn more about the continuing fight for social liberation and the enduring applicability of his concepts in modern-day India.
本論文討論有關安貝卡博士 (1891-1956) 和當代印度佛教社會運動的議題。 19世紀末20世紀初，印度佛教復興。 阿那伽里迦．達摩波羅 (Anagarika Dharmapala，1864-1933) 是一位斯里蘭卡人，他來到印度並創立了摩訶菩提協會 (Maha bodhi society)，以在印度復興佛教。在他的時代，佛像成為印度教的象徵，佛教徒不得禮拜。結果，達摩波羅發起了一場抗議運動。
安貝卡博士是一位富有遠見的領袖、社會改革家和印度賤民群體權利的捍衛者。本論文探討安貝卡博士對現代印度佛教社會運動的主要貢獻。它探討了他的理想如何影響社會正義和平等，以及他如何在印度復興佛教。從生為「賤民」到起草印度憲法，安貝德卡博士的寬容，影響了學術界對歧視和社會不公的看法。在對根深蒂固的種姓制度感到沮喪之後，他於 1956 年皈依了佛教，從而引發了一場歷史性的皈依運動，這種運動直到今天仍然有很明顯的影響力。
他呼籲廢除種姓，強調需要摧毀支持歧視的社會等級制度。佛教被安貝卡視為一種解放力量，可以反對壓迫性的理想，並為所有人提供有尊嚴和平等的生活。本論文還討論了 安貝卡博士思想的當代意義，及其對現代印度社會運動的影響。在印度社會的各個方面，本論文審視了他的教義如何鼓勵基進主義、社會組織的發展和對社會正義的追求。
安貝卡博士對當代印度佛教社會運動的貢獻，具有重大而持久的影響。 他的思想觀念、對社會平等的支持以及對教育的關注，引發了一場質疑現狀並致力於創造一個更加包容和公平的社會改革運動。通過研究他的思想遺產，人們可以更了解持續進行的社會解放鬥爭，以及他的思想觀念在當代印度的持久適用性。 |
