- Authors

- Abstract
The mastermind behind the elephantine Indian Constitution took, on his own and out of conscientious necessity, a humanistic view at the time of shaping the constitutional cocoon which was the outcome of the culmination of his education, realization issued out of bitter reality, his very own wounded feelings and religious preference. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar did not hold back his views, and time and again, gave vent to them in his numerous letters, speeches, pamphlets, and books. Throughout his potent life, Dr. Ambedkar studied Buddhism and followed its instructions with a view to reflecting them in his own life and in the lives of the people around him. No wonder, this votary of egalitarianism embraced Buddhism in his ripe old age and wrote the glittering book The Buddha and His Dhamma, which got published posthumously. The present article chooses to pick out some pearls out of the book, which are, even today, dazzling enough to radiate relevant glow
