Bhimrao Ambedkar's "Riddles of Hinduism"
Draftman of Indian Constitution, B.R Ambedkar had converted to Buddhism as protest against prejudiced practices of Hinduism. This book "Riddles Of Hinduism" elevated testing and inquisitive questions concerning the inequities and caste hierarchy of Hinduism. Hindu nationalists protested against several sections which argued Ambedkar's comments that reddened Hindu sentiments. But the deprived Dalit Community led adverse affirmation. Initially, the state headed forward and suspended the publication of Ambedkar's collected books. But later the Government conceded, forewarning that all views of Ambedkar were not agreeable.
