Classical Buddhism, Neo-Buddhism and the Question of Caste
Gokhale, Pradeep P. (Departments of Philosophy and Pali, Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune, India)
This book examines the interface between Buddhism and the caste system in India. It discusses how Buddhism in different stages, from its early period to contemporary forms (Theravada, Mahayana, Tantrayana and Navayana) dealt with the question of caste, and focuses on the radical challenge posed by B. R. Ambedkar’s Navayana Buddhism or neo-Buddhism.
