Buddhism in India: Challenging Brahmanism and Caste by Gail Omvedt
English | 5 Aug. 2003 | ISBN: 0761996648, 0761996656 | 330 Pages | PDF | 1 MB

This book is an historical survey of Buddhism in India and shows how over a period of 2500 years, Buddhism has been engaged in a struggle against caste-hierarchy. It has challenged Brahmanism, the main exploitative system of traditional Indian society, and instead endeavoured to build religious egalitarianism.
