In “Buddha or Karl Marx” (written 1956) Ambedkar accepted Marx’s critique of exploitation but rejected violence and the dictatorship of the proletariat: the Buddha’s way of persuasion and moral change, he argued, reaches the same goal more lastingly.

Ambedkar held that Gandhi’s defence of varna and his paternalism towards the ‘Harijans’ preserved caste, which only its annihilation could end (Annihilation of Caste, 1936). B. R. Ambedkar, Annihilation of Caste, 1936; What Congress and Gandhi Have Done to the Untouchables, 1945

خطاب ألغاه المنظمون وطبعه أمبيدكار بنفسه: يقوم نظام الطبقات على سند ديني ولا يمكن إصلاحه – بل يجب هدمه.
الموقف
For Ambedkar caste was a system of graded inequality, maintained by endogamy and sanctioned by Hindu scriptures. It could not be reformed from within; its religious authority itself had to be rejected – the thesis of Annihilation of Caste. From Dewey he took the idea that democracy is not merely a form of government but a mode of associated living, demanding liberty, equality and fraternity in social life. He clashed with Gandhi, who defended an idealised varna order and in 1932, by fasting, pressed him to give up separate electorates for the “Depressed Classes”, as the colonial administration called the Dalits. In The Buddha and His Dhamma he reinterpreted Buddhism as a rational social ethics, later called Navayana.
الحياة والسياق
Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was born in 1891 at Mhow into a Mahar family, a caste then treated as “untouchable”. He studied in Bombay, at Columbia University – where John Dewey was among his teachers – and at the London School of Economics. He led Dalit movements, became independent India’s first Law Minister and chaired the drafting committee of the Constitution. Weeks before his death in 1956 he converted to Buddhism.
