Mahaparinirvan Diwas: What Ambedkar said about Buddhism ‘being better than Marxism’
In an essay, written in his lucid and methodical style, Ambedkar has compared Buddhism with Marxism, listing out their similarities and differences. Here is a summary of his arguments.
Kanheri Caves; numbering more than 100, were the site of an ancient Buddhist university and contain gigantic Buddhist sculptures.
A monastic complex, it slowly grew over a thousand years, till it was large enough and important enough to be reckoned a mahavihara, like Nalanda in Bihar. The earliest recorded structures in the complex date to the second century CE, while textual records attest to the continued use of the caves as late as the 12th century. As a result, the complex is an iconographically rich site where you can see religious styles ranging from early Theravada through early and mature Mahayana, and also the beginnings of Vajrayana Buddhism.
