[@meghnerd]

thank you for this 🙏

[@harshalgawai746]

Biggest point that you should have discussed is caste system. Brahminism. Why BR Ambedkar and his followers abandoned Hinduism due to worst treatment in history. Why Buddhism was the way Ambedkar showed for all the way of Buddha and his Dhamma.

[@meghnerd]

Caste atrocities & criticism of Hinduism is peppered throughout the video. But I think the Buddhism part does need a lot more.

[@harshalgawai746]

​@@meghnerd Thanks Meghnath for addressing my comment. I agree with your 1st point. It was a superb video which throws light on life of BR Ambedkar. He who put social reform infront of any other reform as well as freedom from colonism. My point is that Ambedkar explored other religions too. Like Sikhism, etc which you mentioned. But Buddhism was the only one he chose. And his entire community of MAHAR converted to buddhism. Today I can see this people have risen among society from shudra-ti-shudra to very well educated class on India. They have subsequently undergone economic reform due to detaching themselves from Brahmanical tyranny. No other scheduled caste followed Ambedkar in conversion in your very own Nagpur Diskha Bhumi, Meghnath sir. This other SC are left far behind in social, political as well as economic reforms. I think this conversion of Mahars to Buddhism marks a very significant milestone in Anhilation of caste which Ambedkar always talked and finally brought to its fruition. We really need to look at this angle. Its not a mere conversion to other religion for sake of practicing religion. Buddhism use to be the religion of people in India in Ancient India and all of south east Asia, China till far east Japan. What did he saw in Buddhism? He's book Buddhism vs Brahminism says Indian history is fight between this too entities and that is majority of History of India of past 2500 years. This things are very well ignored in Video although it touched everything else and was banger to watch. Keep it up Meghnerd.

[@antsywoman]

I think this stream is an intro to Ambedkar more than anything. Everyone has one particular thing about Ambedkar they find extremely important and fascinating. The point of this stream is to introduce people who don't know much to some starting threads they can then pull for themselves. Like I didn't know what you said about the Mahar community, but now I'm gonna go and read!

[@harshalgawai746]

@@antsywoman Yes do read it. BR Ambedkar was born into Mahar which were untouchables under Peshwa rule..it was and still is a cruel system. Systemic oppression on this scale needs to be told out loud. Ambedkar along with lakhs of his followers(Mahars) converted to Buddhism. This religion was selected for many reasons..most important was Buddhism believes in equality among all things. It holds Shila(piece), samadhi and Praghya as 3 pillars. 22 prathidnya were taken. Old gods of Hinduism were let go to enter new religion. Which was not at all known but was once a majority religion at times of Mauryan, Pala, Sathvana, etc.

[@SitWithAnkit]

My class 10th teacher used to call my name and ask me "Aap SC hain?" to fill the 10th board exam form. I remember whole class laughing at me over this. My school was in R.K. Puram, New Delhi. Pretty bad experience.

[@supasapien]

Same exact thing happened to me too. We had to write our name, roll no and caste on a A4 sheet. My teacher yelled infront of whole class while having smirk on face, --myname-- tum SC se ho? Later 4 Uppercaste boys of my class came sat behind my seat and started bullying me because of caste, they straight up said tum chamar ho? Fucked my Mental Health for good. I'm from UP tho and there are many such incident that I had to face just because of my caste.

Hi Meghnad! Thank you for such an awesome Deep dive. Your content is very very relevant for people of all generations, especially younger people. This is incredible! You and your team have opened up so many instances in our history that we will never know since the majority of our knowledge only comes from History textbooks which are surface level and biased as well.

I am called anti-hindu by hindu extremists and bhakt by muslims. It's irony that many Muslims quote Ambedkar ji for criticizing hinduism and at same time, when I criticize islam, I am being called bhakt by muslims. Whereas, I am also being called anti-hindu by some hindus.

[@wisdomdrops26]

Talking about Caste system and his embracing of Buddhism are must when we talk about Dr. Ambedkar

[@MrAbhiabhi7]

54:54 Yes. this is why I don't have patience for people that say "education will solve all the problems", or "casteism is all gone from India yaar, I've not seen anyone do this in my gated community. But we make the domestic help sit outside the house due to hygiene purposes only yaar.." etc etc. Makes my blood boil. and I say this as someone without lived experience of being a Dalit. I'm amazed at their restraint to not violently riot against the oppressor castes.

[@5u6a70]

Around 58:00, you speak of Babasaheb as joker. I forget the video essay, but I remember listening to the theory of the white clown and the red clown. I think it was related to Sacha Baron Cohen. No comparison of course, and all my respect. The white clown is the one who makes fun of establishment through pushing boundaries. Again, no disrespect, and this discussion could only be done in an English speaking academic c(l)ass(te).

There is a book by Arundhati Roy the Doctor and the saint

[@theserialbunny424]

Amazing

[@jigglypuff29]

I am not sure if it is an oversimplification or what, but basically, RSS and DR. BR Ambedkar had one common thing i.e. hatred for Gandhi. Moreover, it is shocking that he never received a Bharat Ratna or any other national recognition for all his contributions towards the social upliftment of a majority section of our society. Makes you realize no matter which government is in power they will only recognize efforts from pro-establishment people.

[@VoLvOX.]

Don’t spread your WhatsApp level sh*t here. Those similarities were completely coincidental because Dr. Ambedkar and RSS both were challenging the INC at that time. The RSS-BJP nexus now exploits that relation just to fetch votes because they have already alienated Muslims and they cannot afford to loose more sections of society for their politics.

[@bhaskargawli7002]

Why Sayajirao or Shahu Maharaj helped Ambedkar is because they might have a sympathy towards uplifting the depressed classes but definitely because they were tortured and controlled by the brahminical people too much. Their entire administration was domonated by the brahmins & many times the Maharajas were not allowed to perform as per their will.The constant meddling in their day to day affair by the brahmins was unbearable. So they really wanted somebody from the bahujan samaj to come forward to counter the brahmin dominance.

There is a confusion around Ambedkar surname. There are Brahmins with Ambedkar surname?

[@sushmitapawar540]

No there aren't any. His surname Ambavadekar was cut short by his school principal because he thought it was too long. Very arrogant of him. But as it became a documented surname, Babasaheb carried it on. Babasaheb didn't give any reasons as such but only the Principal's act. About the Brahmin surname bit, that's a misinformation spread by Brahmins. Babasaheb's class teacher was a Casteist Brahmin, as per Babasaheb's own experiences.

[@vinodmokale2011]

yes Osho is fraud if you think he is not then you are hypnotized by his video :) and if you want ruin your life follow Osho

[@sushmitapawar540]

Osho massively relied on Buddha's philosophy, even copying Buddha's calm mannerisms, logic and rationality in his preachings. He became popular exactly for that reason. I used to like listening to him because he was very soothing to the ear. Later on, he just turned out to be a massive fraud, very horrible indeed. No lie can be kept hidden for long anyway. His entire persona was a lie just to earn money.

[@jammRJ]

I think it's very plausible that both men believed strongly in what they considered the truth. Ambedkar found nothing redeeming about Hinduism but seeing that he converted to Buddhism , he was not an atheist whereas Gandhi was a true believer of Sanatan dharam. On the other hand Ambedkar probably realized that he would get more concessions out of caste Hindus than the Brits . Gandhi was called Mahatma because he was for all indians not just Hindus . Sure his early years in Africa were problematic but his ideas got refined over time . Babasaheb perhaps due to his intellect and perhaps due to the fact he was not rooted in spiritualism veered towards nihilism or at least cynicism . But obviously Gandhi's optimism was proven wrong and babasaheb ended up predicting the future more accurately.

[@shashG30]

Read ambedkar then comment , n gandhi didn't work for Indians rather worked for Brahmins, but ambedkar worked for Indians n more than Indians he worked for humanity, his mother nature never spread hatred in minds of ppl , n read what gandhi n congress done to sc st book u ll understand wt Gandhi s , spirituality do read buddha n his Dhamma book

[@jammRJ]

@@shashG30 Gandhi was not a Brahmin so I don't know why Gandhi would advocate for them . Second he is known for pioneering nonviolence and perhaps the most successful nonviolent movement in the history of the world so I don't get your point about hatred either.

Gandhi obviously felt that a divided Hindu electorate would play into the hands of the British and the more pressing problem for him was gaining independence and then everything else would sort itself out in a democracy. Ambedkar obviously foresaw that problems would persist despite independence . Muslims and dalits are still oppressed in modern India.

2hr boring normie rant

[@socialdesk3570]

3 points on Gandhi - Ambadkar 1. Ambedkar accused gandhi for separate electorate of Sikh and muslim. By the way seperate electorate given to them in 1909 when gandhi was not in India. So, it make no sense to scold him for this. 2. Gandhi's joint electorate is way better then Ambedkar seperate electorate. 3. Gandhi was castist in his initial life, but later changes mainly after 1930s, where he allowed dalits in his ashram (even after opposed by mainy closed ones people like kasturba gandhi ) . In 1940s - 50s he only went to inter caste or dalit marriage. So, calling him casteist doesn't make sense, because people change. Because in World War 2 Ambedkar asked Dalits to join the British Army, but later he changed. So, if you think that people don't change, then we can say Ambedkar is traiter and British stoge even after independence If anyone want too debate, kindly reply 😊
