Mass conversion Dalits shift faith.

Mumbai: In what could be one of the biggest mass conversions in the country, thousands of tribal and Dalit Hindus are to embrace the Buddhist faith at a huge gathering in Mumbai on Sunday.

To mark the Golden jubilee of dalit icon Dr Ambedkar's conversion to Buddhism, lakhs of followers will converge at Mumbai's Mahalaxmi racecourse on Sunday to give up their religion. The event will be presided over by the Dalai Lama.

They want to embrace Buddhism because it is a free religion. it is open to all. It preaches non violence and is not divided on basis of caste, said Ramdas Athavle, leader, RPI.

October 14, 1956 was a historic day when over 3 lakh dalits led by Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar rejected Hinduism's caste divisions and embraced Buddhism. 50-years hence lakhs of Ambedkar followers will once again renounce the religion they were born to.

The number of dignitaries who attended the pre Buddhism ceremony—a precursor of Sundays event, confirmed Dr Ambedkars iconic status. Even as Dalit leaders hope, that the resurgence of Buddhist conversions also converts into political mileage, Ambedkar followers try and remind others their leader's real appeal.

This would be the first ever mass conversion where millions of people will change their religion without any promise of money, or political power, Narendra Jadhav, Vice Chancellor, Pune University said.

With the number of dalit atrocities across the country on the rise, perhaps it's time for the religion they leave behind to reconsider its exclusionist philosophy.

Jai Bhim.
Be happy

HINDUS THEMSELVES WORHSIP BUDDHA..

the dalits have been EUDCATED BY A SLAVE EMPIRE.. Christians, in their INTEREST TO DEGRADE HINDUS, by creating TERM DALIT

[OneDharmaYouMovement]

THE WORD DALIT WAS FIRST COINED BY CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES TO FRAME THE POVERTY THEY CREATED ON TO THE HEATHEN FAITH.......called HINDUISM

Buddism is also a heathen faith by christians, as they are IDOL WORSHIPPERS.

dalits are IDIOTS, THE MOST STUPID people, who take their history from others.. who listen the slave empire of the europeans

ITS A FOKING DISGRACEEEE.. to call ANYONE a dalit. and be proud of it..

Poor indians have been abused NOT ONCE but TWICE BY CHRISTIANS!!

”’God-fearing are commanded not to revile the dark-skinned, but to remember their own filthiness and to remember that filth of dark skin came only because of their fathers’ sin”

Leviticus 25:44-46 “Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property.

The study analysed 500,000 genetic markers across the genomes of 132 individuals from 25 diverse groups from 13 states. All the individuals were from six-language families and traditionally upper and lower castes and tribal groups.

"The genetics proves that castes grew directly out of tribe-like organizations during the formation of the Indian society."

"Impossible to distinguish between castes and tribes since their genetics proved they were not systematically different."

ALL INDIANS ARE 1

Buddha himself was an INCARNATION OF VISHNU!!...

THE TEACHINGS OF BUDDHA ARE THE TEACHINGS OF HINDUISM!!

THE CHRISTIANS destroyed he livlehood of all INDAINS, and the most poverty the most desperate where NAMED BY CHRISTIANS AS DALITS, TO MAKE OUT THEY HAD BEEN OPPRESED BY INDIANS, AND NOT the biggest slave empire in the world!!...CHRISTIANITY the cult of YHZEUS OR jesus.

Tamilians = "dalit race" of India and they are treated worse than mere 'outcastes' by the Sinhala Buddhists.

Is this worth it?
