Why did Ambedkar converted to Buddhism? Discuss

B.R. Ambedkar’s decision to convert to Buddhism was a culmination of his lifelong struggle against caste-based oppression, his search for an egalitarian religion, and his deep philosophical convictions. Born into an untouchable caste in India, Ambedkar experienced systemic discrimination and social exclusion throughout his life. This deeply influenced his political, social, and intellectual journey. His conversion to Buddhism in 1956 was not just a personal choice but also a significant socio-political statement, marking a radical shift in the fight against caste-based discrimination and oppression.

### Experiences of Discrimination and Search for Dignity  
Ambedkar’s early experiences of untouchability profoundly shaped his worldview. Despite being a brilliant student, he faced relentless discrimination in school and society due to his Dalit identity. This marginalization persisted even after he achieved high academic success, including earning doctoral degrees from prestigious institutions such as Columbia University and the London School of Economics. Ambedkar realized that caste discrimination was deeply entrenched in the Hindu social order and codified in religious texts like the Manusmriti, which he publicly burned in 1927 as a protest against caste oppression.
