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.
Dr #BabaSahebAmbedkar further said, The Buddha questioned the sacrifices of animals and cows and declared it useless to achieve the highest blessings. Because of the Buddha’s criticism, the Hindus have to give up the worship of the gods like Indra and Varun.
