Maharashtra’s Dalits: Buddhism as a Communication Tool of Socio-Political Protest

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Since the first mass conversion of Dalits to Buddhism on 14 October 1956 in Nagpur, the Dalit Buddhist movement has been growing and forming diverse activists group across the state of Maharashtra. My research focuses on a today’s young generation of Dalit Buddhists, university students in Mumbai and surrounding areas, and on the communication of their struggle against ascribed caste identity and social status to the major society. I analyze the role of Buddhism in Dalits communication and point to the importance of media such as music, documentaries, and theatre containing Buddhist themes through which they send a message of socio-political protest.
