Ahmedabad, Apr 26 (PTI) B R Ambedkar always worked for the unity of
society and even when he converted, he converted to Buddhism, and not
to Christianity or Islam, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi said
today.
"Ambedkar gave up Hinduism but did not convert to Muslim or
Christianity. He converted to a religion, Buddhism, which was
originated in Hindustan like Hinduism," Modi said here during the
release of his book 'Samajik Samarasta' which is a compilation of
articles and speeches of Modi on Ambedkar and various social issues.
