In his letter #JyotiraoPhule said, "I was very glad to receive your invitation. But oh, dear brother, our institutions & books have nothing to do with authors who have not the courage or guys to grant willingly or openly bahuman rights, & from the prevailing tendencies..
it is presumed that they could never bring themselves to grant these rights to those who have been deprived of them. The teachings & message of their books are poles apart from the message from the books written by us.

Kalaram Temple entry movement formed a pivotal role in the Dalit movement. Dadasaheb Gaikwad & Dr Ambedkar led a protest outside the temple, in order to allow Dalits into the temple. The movement was to have a #right_to_enter the temple. it was more towards having #equal_rights.
Dr Ambedkar said, “I didn’t launch the temple entry movement because I wanted the Depressed Classes to become worshipers of idols which they were prevented from worshiping or because I believed temple entry would make them equal members in & an integral part of the Hindu Society.

OnThisDay in 1956,Dr #BabaSahebAmbedkar delivered a speech on "Origin of Buddhism"at #BanarasHinduUniversity. He said, "Buddhism is not a branch of Hinduism & religion existed at the time of the Buddha was different frm the Vaidic &Brahminical religion"
#DrAmbeddkar argued that, The Vaidic believed in the truth of the Vedas, the Buddha was totally opposed to the Vedas. In the Kalama Sutta, the Buddha taught that Human beings should think freely, and never believed that the Vedas contain eternal truth for mankind for the future.
The Buddha compared the Vedas with the desert. Vedas are only prayers to Indras and others for horses, weapons, victory over enemies, and material enjoyment. There is no moral teaching in the Vedas and therefore the Buddha repudiated the Vedas.
