This book examines the interface between Buddhism and the caste system in India. It discusses how Buddhism in different stages, from its early period to contemporary forms (Theravāda, Mahāyāna, Tantrayāna and Navayāna) dealt with the question of caste, and focuses on the radical challenge posed by B. R. Ambedkar's Navayāna Buddhism or neo-Buddhism.
