Several Dalits to convert to Buddhism - mark 54th anniversary of
Ambedkarji's similar act

GULBARGA: A large number of Dalits will convert to Buddhism here on
Thursday to mark the 54th anniversary of B.R. Ambedkar converting to
Buddhism at Nagpur in Maharashtra along with his followers.
International Bouddha Yuva Sanghatane and the Buddhist Society of
India would jointly organise the fifth mass 'Buddha Dhamma Deeksha'
programme at the MSK Mill Grounds here on Thursday.
October 14 was an important date in the annals of India as it was on
this day that Ambedkar had embraced Buddhism in protest against the
oppressive caste system that prevailed in the country.Global council
of Indian Christians(GCIC) wished all success for the Dalits
converting for liberating from the clutches of oppression
