B. R. అంబేడ్కర్ బౌద్ధాన్ని హిందూ మతంలో భాగంగా ఎందుకు చేశారు?

B. R. అంబేడ్కర్ బౌద్ధాన్ని హిందూ మతంలో భాగంగా ఎందుకు చేశారు?

మన రాజ్యాంగంలో క్రైస్తవ,ఇస్లాం,పార్సీ మతస్థులు తప్పించి మిగతావారందరు అందరు హిందువులే!
కారణం ఈనాడు సత్యసాయి బాబా, జగ్గి వాసుదేవ్, బాబా రాందేవ్,మాత ఆనందమయి,శ్రీశ్రీ రవిశంకర్,ఆశారాం బాపు వాళ్ళ ఫాలోయర్స్ ఎలా గున్నారో, ఆనాడు బుద్దుడికి,మహావీరుడికి అలాగున్నారు. వాళ్ళు ఈ దేశ సంస్కృతిలో భాగమే అనుకొన్నారు తప్ప ప్రత్యేకం అనుకోలేదు. మామతం వేరంటూ, క్రైస్తవుల కేనన్ లా, షరియా లా వలే న్యాయపరమైన కొత్త చట్టాలు వాళ్ళేమి చేసుకోలేదు.
శైవ,వైష్ణవ,శాక్త శాఖలవలే బుద్దిజం కూడా ఒక శాఖ. బుద్దిజం అనేది నేటి హిందూ మతం/భారతీయ సనాతన సంస్కృతిలో ఒక భాగం అంతే. అంబేడ్కర్ ను రాజ్యాంగం పై చర్చలు జరిగినపుడు అడిగితే చెప్పిన సమాధానం కూడా ఇదే రకంగా ఉంది.
MODERN HINDU LAW:
1) What did Ambedkar Read to Come to the Conclusion that Buddhism Should be Under Hindu Religion? Dr. Ambedkar and the Hindu Code Bill
“The peculiarity about the Hindu religion, as I understand it, is this, that it is the one religion which has got a legal framework integrally associated with it. Now, it is very necessary to bear this thing in mind, because if one has a proper understanding of this, it would not be difficult to understand why Sikhs are brought under the Hindu religion, why Buddhists are brought under the Hindu religion and why Jains are brought under the Hindu religion. When the Buddha differed from the Vedic Brahmins, his difference was limited to matters of creed. The Buddha did not propound a separate legal system for his own followers; he left the legal system as it was. It may be that the legal system that then prevailed was a good system; that it had no blemishes and no faults. So, he did not direct his attention to making any changes in the legal system in consequence of the changes that he introduced in certain religious notions.”
"In the same way, when Mahavir founded his own religion he did not create a new legal system for the Jains. He allowed the legal system to continue and I think Sardar Hukam Singh will correct me if I am wrong when I say that none of the ten Gurus ever created a law book as such for the Sikhs. The trouble is—you may call it trouble; you may call it good fortune; you may call it misfortune; I am not particular about words—the fact is this. In this country, although religions have changed, the law has remained one. That is why the Sikh follows the law."
"The Jains come and ask, " What are you going to do to us? Are you going to make us Hindus? " The Sikhs say the same thing. The Buddhists say the same thing. My answer to that is this: I cannot help it. You have been following a single law system and it is too late now for anyone to say that he shall reject this legal system wholesale and will have nothing to do with it. That cannot be done. Therefore, the application of the Hindu Law and the Hindu Code to Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs is a historical development to which you and I cannot now give any answer."

2) RS okays bill conferring SC status on Neo-Buddhists
Rajya Sabha on Tuesday passed a bill extending Scheduled Caste status to neo-Buddhists on the basis of their caste prior to conversion. The measure, which comes on the eve of Buddha Pournami, was hailed by the elders unanimously.
Accordingly, all such Buddhists who belonged to Scheduled Castes before conversion will now be able to enjoy the benefits of SCs.
Speaking on the bill before its passage, members cutting across party lines, pleaded that this facility should be extended to Christians and Muslims on similar grounds. The Minister for Welfare, Mr. Ram Vilas Paswan, responding to members' suggestion, said that matter could be discussed among leaders of various political parties later to consider the suggestion.
The Bharatiya Janata Party, however, adopted a different stand on the question of extending SC status to Christians and Muslims. Mr. Pramod Mahajan (BJP) said SC status could not be extended to Christians and Muslims because their religions were not offshoots of Hinduism. His party had no objection to SC status being given to Sikhs and now Buddhists because they were basically offshoots of Hinduism. This argument was sought to be countered by several members who said it would amount to discrimination in the name of religion and would be against the spirit of secularism.
The bill set off much legal wrangling between the National Front and the Congress-I with the latter wanted the bill rephrased to avoid any possible litigation subsequent to its passage. Leader of the Opposition, Mr. P. Shiv Shankar, said that the Bill, in its present form, would highlight the caste of the neo-Buddhist in order to afford him the benefit of SC status. This would be a retrogade step as the Buddhist religion did not believe in the caste system. Minister of Law and Justice, Mr. Dinesh Goswamy disagreed with him, saying that there was no way to confer status on Neo-Buddhists without determining their caste before conversion.
An argument ensued and Mr. Paswan assured members that the government would take care of any problem that would arise later. He wanted that the Bill to be passed on Tuesday since Buddha Poornima fell on Wednesday. The members then took up the discussion in right earnest.
A number of members, including former Minister of State for Welfare, Mrs. Margaret Alva (Cong-I), Mr. V. Gopalaswamy (DMK) and Mr. Ajit Yogi (Cong-I) wanted similar status to be conferred on Christians. They said it would be 'a grave discrimination' if the same facility was denied to them.
Mr. Gopalaswamy said it was ironical that while ST converts to Christianity enjoyed their benefits even after conversion, converts to SC did not get the same facility.
Prof. C.P. Thakur (Cong-I) while supporting the bill wanted economic criteria to be the basis for extending various constitutional benefits. Determining various benefits on the basis of castes was wrong, he added. Mr. Sabir Ahmed Salaria (NC) pleaded that Christians and Muslims should not be denied the same benefit being given to Sikhs earlier and now to Buddhists.

5) Ambedkar wanted Protestant Hinduism. Hinduism & Buddhism are branches of the same tree, just as the Catholic & Protestant church
************************************************************************
B. R. Ambedkar spoke at the Banaras Hindu University & thought he would achieve for Buddhism what Shankaracharya had done for Hinduism. He spoke on Shankaracharya’s philosophy as expounded in the aphorism, ‘Brahma Satyam Jagan Mithya’. BRA said that if the Brahman pervaded all, a Brahmin & an Untouchable were equal. But Shankara did not apply the doctrine to social organization & kept the discussion on a vedantic level. Had he applied it on a social level his proposition would have been profound & worth consideration, apart from his erroneous belief that the world was an illusion.

***********************************
B. R. Ambedkar wanted Protestant Hinduism. You may call his Buddhism Ambedkarayan or Buddhist New Testament, which would emerge as a strangely indigenous form of Neo-Buddhism paying homage to the Buddha and clinging to ritualistic practices and traditions woven into the fibre of the Indian mind.
Hinduism & Buddhism are branches of the same tree, just as the Catholic & Protestant church. So those who worship Buddha in India would do well to remember the world of Dr Rhys Davids who observes: ‘We should never forget that Gautama was born & brought up as a Hindu and lived & died as Hindu. His teaching, far-reaching & original as it was, and really subversive of the religion of the day, was Indian throughout. He was the greatest & wisest & the best of the Hindus’.
His Dhamma preaches the necessity to kill if needed and his message to India is that Indians should be determined to defend the independence of this land to the last drop of their blood.

*****************************
I have taken care that conversion will not harm the traditions, the culture and history of this land
Dr. Ambedkar opted Buddhism because it was built on the foundations of liberty, equality, fraternity, morality and professes scientific, rational and humanistic outlook. The principal aim of Buddhism is to emancipate suffering humanity. He undertook the stupendous task of reviving and spreading the gospel of the Lord Buddha. Dr. Ambedkar exhorted the downtrodden to take refuge in Buddha and propagate Dhamma.
It is worth mentioning that even while selecting a religion for himself and his followers, Dr. Ambedkar chose the least harmful way for the country. After embracing Buddhism
Dr. Amberdkar said: It is the greatest benefit I am conferring on the country by embracing Buddhism, as Buddhism is a part and parcel of Bhartiya Culture. I have taken care that conversion will not harm the traditions, the culture and history of this land. Thus Dr. Ambedkar proved himself to be hardcore Nationalist and patriot. He is reported to have said, I confess I have many quarrels with caste Hindus over some points but, I take my vow that I shall lay down my life in defence of our land.
Dr. Ambedkar was a nationalist and patriot to the core. In the Constituent Assembly, he remarked, We must be determined to defend our independence to the last drop of blood. Although Dr. Ambedkar was an indomitable fighter, he never deviated from the democratic norms. He bitterly opposed civil disobedience and other unconstitutional means. According to him, Democracy is a form and method of Government whereby revolutionary changes in the economic and social life of the people are brought about without bloodshed. Therefore, he never threw his lot with those who adopted violent and unconstitutional means. According to him, the unconstitutional means are the grammar of anarchy. He advised, We must abandon the method of civil disobedience, non co-operation and Satyagraha. When there no way left for constitutional methods for achieving economic and social objective, there was a great deal of justification for unconstitutional methods. But where constitutional methods are open, there can be no justification for these unconstitutional methods.

This is the only biography which is approved by Dr. Ambedkar himself and hence only this biography should be considered as the most authentic and so the best. "Dr. Ambedkar Life And Mission" by DHANANJAY KEER

6) Fall of Buddhism in India was due to the invasions of the Musalmans
*************************************************************** There can be no doubt that the fall of Buddhism in India was due to the invasions of the Musalmans. Islam came out as the enemy of the 'But'. The word 'But' as everybody knows, is the Arabic word and means an idol. Thus the origin of the word indicates that in the Moslem mind idol worship had come to be identified with the Religion of the Buddha. To the Muslims, they were one and the same thing. The mission to break the idols thus became the mission to destroy Buddhism. Islam destroyed Buddhism not only in India but wherever it went. Before Islam came into being Buddhism was the religion of Bactria, Parthia, Afghanistan, Gandhar, and Chinese Turkestan, as it was of the whole of Asia. In all these countries Islam destroyed Buddhism.
Ref : B. R. Ambedkar, "The decline and fall of Buddhism," Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar: Writings and Speeches, Vol. III, Government of Maharashtra. 1987, p. 229-30 
The Mussalman invaders sacked the Buddhist universities of Nalanda, Vikramshila, Jagaddala, Odantapuri to name only a few. They razed to the ground Buddhist monasteries with which the country was studded. The monks fled away in thousands to Nepal, Tibet and other places outside India. A very large number were killed outright by the Muslim commanders. How the Buddhist priesthood perished by the sword of the Muslim invaders has been recorded by the Muslim historians themselves. Summarizing the evidence relating to the slaughter of the Buddhist Monks perpetrated by the Musalman General in the course of his invasion of Bihar in 1197 AD, Mr. Vincent Smith says, "The Musalman General, who had already made his name a terror by repeated plundering expeditions in Bihar, seized the capital by a daring stroke... Great quantities of plunder were obtained, and the slaughter of the 'shaven headed Brahmans', that is to say the Buddhist monks, was so thoroughly completed, that when the victor sought for someone capable of explaining the contents of the books in the libraries of the monasteries, not a living man could be found who was able to read them. 'It was discovered,' we are told, 'that the whole of that fortress and city was a college, and in the Hindi tongue they call a college Bihar.' "Such was the slaughter of the Buddhist priesthood perpetrated by the Islamic invaders. The axe was struck at the very root. For by killing the Buddhist priesthood, Islam killed Buddhism. This was the greatest disaster that befell the religion of the Buddha in India....
