Download or read book Classical Buddhism Neo Buddhism and the Question of Caste written by Pradeep P. Gokhale and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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—Theravāda, Mahāyāna, Tantrayāna and Navayāna—dealt with the question of caste. It also traces the intersections between the problem of caste with those of class and gender. The volume reflects on the interaction between Hinduism and Buddhism: it looks at critiques of caste in the classical Buddhist tradition while simultaneously drawing attention to the radical challenge posed by Dr B. R. Ambedkar’s Navayāna Buddhism or neo-Buddhism. The essays in the book further compare approaches to varṇa and caste developed by modern thinkers such as M. K. Gandhi and S. Radhakrishnan with Ambedkar’s criticisms and his departures from mainstream appraisals. With its interdisciplinary methodology, combining insights from literature, philosophy, political science and sociology, the volume explores contemporary critiques of caste from the perspective of Buddhism and its historical context. By analyzing religion through the lens of caste and gender, it also forays into the complex relationship between religion and politics, while offering a rigorous study of the textual tradition of Buddhism in India. This book will be useful to scholars and researchers of Indian philosophy, Buddhist studies, Indology, literature (especially Sanskrit and Pāli), exclusion and discrimination studies, history, political studies, women studies, sociology, and South Asian studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A second, revised edition of this title is available at https://www.routledge.com/Routledge-Handbook-of-Contemporary-India/Jacobsen/p/book/9781032244068 India is the second largest country in the world with regard to population, the world’s largest democracy and by far the largest country in South Asia, and one of the most diverse and pluralistic nations in the world in terms of official languages, cultures, religions and social identities. Indians have for centuries exchanged ideas with other cultures globally and some traditions have been transformed in those transnational and transcultural encounters and become successful innovations with an extraordinary global popularity. India is an emerging global power in terms of economy, but in spite of India’s impressive economic growth over the last decades, some of the most serious problems of Indian society such as poverty, repression of women, inequality both in terms of living conditions and of opportunities such as access to education, employment, and the economic resources of the state persist and do not seem to go away. This Handbook contains chapters by the field’s foremost scholars dealing with fundamental issues in India’s current cultural and social transformation and concentrates on India as it emerged after the economic reforms and the new economic policy of the 1980s and 1990s and as it develops in the twenty-first century. Following an introduction by the editor, the book is divided into five parts: Part I: Foundation Part II: India and the world Part III: Society, class, caste and gender Part IV: Religion and diversity Part V: Cultural change and innovations Exploring the cultural changes and innovations relating a number of contexts in contemporary India, this Handbook is essential reading for students and scholars interested in Indian and South Asian culture, politics and society.

Download or read book THE DHAMMA AND DALITS written by KAMNA SAGAR and published by jec publication. This book was released on with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: B.R. Ambedkar founded NeoBuddhism, a revolutionary Buddhist societal reformation movement. Neo-Buddhism began on October 14, 1956, as a revolutionary Buddhist movement, when Ambedkar and about 4000,000 of his supporters converted to Buddhism. Since the Dalits first became Buddhist in Nagpur in 1956, Buddhism spread across India, generating different nationalist movements throughout Maharashtra State. The purpose of the study was to deal with (dis)unity in postmodern Maharashtra through interaction with and understanding the practice of a new generation of Ambedkarite group Buddhists living in Mumbai. I emphasize the two intertwined themes: first, the practice of Navayana and its influence on Buddhism developments, and second, the approach of Buddhist mobilization within traditions. Contradictions about expression, daily experiences, the meaning of tradition, and the effect of human acts on changing and transforming cultures are fundamental to the topic of analysis. The findings reveal that there are tensions between B. R. Ambedkar and Buddha's perceptions and reverence. The ambedkarite Buddhists favor the Navayana's secular and ethical values, which conflict with Ambedkar and Buddha in Maharashtra's local districts. Abuse, structural challenges, and efforts by Revolutionaries to incorporate Buddhists in Indian society generate anxiety, crisis, and radical mobilization among Buddhists. I suggest how this response is a minority defence way to protect its culture and identity. It primarily focuses on social empowerment, particularly for the Mahar group among the underprivileged. Above all, it is a movement for self-respect, equality, and justice for all people, regardless of class, caste, religion, or faith. Aside from that, as a socialist theory, Neo-Buddhism is a powerful force for religious movements founded on socioeconomic and moral ideals. In essence, it could be argued that neo-Buddhism is primarily concerned with a move that is seen as a stimulant for the well of society's oppressed classes.

Download or read book Pragmatism Spirituality and Society written by Ananta Kumar Giri and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores border crossing among pragmatism, spirituality and society. It opens up American pragmatism to dialogues with pragmatism and spiritual quest from other traditions such as India and China thus making contemporary pragmatism a part of much needed planetary conversations. It cultivates new visions and practices of spiritual pragmatism building upon the seminal works of Charles Sanders Pierce, William James, Sri Aurobindo, John Dewey, Martin Heidegger, Mahatma Gandhi, B.R. Ambedkar, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Luce Irigaray which can help us rethink and transform conventional conceptions and constructions of practice, pragmatism, language, religion, politics, society, culture and democracy and create new relationships of pragmatism, spirituality and society.
