Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was born in Madhya Pradesh
India, on 14th APRIL (1891) and died on 6th DECEMBER,
(1956)
Dr Ambedkar was a "dalit" "untouchable" Scheduled
Caste (signifies a Schedule in the Constitution of
India recognising certain castes hence the term
"Scheduled" )and he believed that ----THERE IS NO
SCOPE FOR DALITS AND UNTOUCHABLES LIKE HIM ---within
Hinduism and therefore appealed to them to embrace
BUDDHISM (largely followed in most Asian countries)
Yet he earned the title of "Father of the
Constitution of India". But he is discreetly looked
down upon, infact hated, by the high caste Hindus, for
much of his preachings in favour of Untouchables
Dalits -- reservation for SCs and other beliefs like
advocating Buddhism.

Siddharta Gautama was the Originator of Buddhism and
born in a Royal family of Nepal.. Buddha Pournima
JAYANTI (birthday) is celebrated in MAY each year. He
does not claim divinity but his followers -- Buddhists
(mainly Scheduled Castes in India ) see him as a guide
who can lead one "to path of Enlightenment for
oneself".

*******************************************************
On 18th MAY (1974 )the Indian National Congress Party

Buddha Pournima Jayanti on 14th MAY, 2006 or on the
ocassion of the 50th death anniversary of Dr B R

Yet another "untolerant" situation which unnerves the
right wing Hindu fundamentalist party in India is the
triumvarate leading the Nation is a) Dr A P J Abdul
Kalam ( a Moslem ) the Prime Minister Dr Manmohan
Singh ( a Sikh ) and the Chairperson of the United
Progressive Alliance (Smt Sonia Gandhi ) a Roman
Catholic ) all minority communities.
