Equality Demand and Modern Construction of Dalit Buddhism in India from the Perspective of Hermeneutics
In the 1950s,Dr.Ambedkar led the large-scale conversion of Indian Dalits to Bud-dhism,initiating the process of Buddhist revival in India.He criticized the alienation of traditional Buddhism from the social reality,connected the history of Indian Buddhism with the Dalit community,focused on explaining the modern value of Buddhist equality,and constructed a radical and practical Dalit Buddhism.With the development of the Dalit movement,the new Buddhism gave the Dalit community a new social identity and became a cultural expression of their struggle for equal rights.The Secular characteristics and rationalism of Dalit Buddhism was the self-awakening of Indian cultural tradition after the western colonial impact,and it was also the concrete manifestation of the modernization process of Asian Buddhism.
