A South Asian Movement's Social
Justpeace Prospects for Peace-building and Worldview Tolerance: A South Asian Movement’s Social Construction of Justice A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at George Mason University By Jeremy A. Rinker Master of Arts University of Hawaii, 2001 Bachelor of Arts University of Pittsburgh, 1995 Director: Dr. Daniel Rothbart, Professor of Conflict Resolution Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution Spring Semester 2009 George Mason University Fairfax, VA Copyright: 2009 Jeremy A. Rinker All Rights Reserved ii DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to the many named and unnamed dalits who have endured the suffering and humiliation of centuries of social ostracism, discrimination, and structural violence. Their stories, though largely unheard, provide both an inspiration and foundation for creating social justice. It is my hope that in telling and analyzing the stories of dalit friends associated with the Trailokya Bauddha Mahasangha, Sahayak Gana (TBMSG), both new perspectives and a sense of hope about the ideal of justpeace will be fostered. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank all those that provided material, emotional, and spiritual support to me during the many stages of this dissertation work (from conceptualization to completion). The writing of a dissertation is a lonely process and those that suffer most during such a solitary process are invariably the writer’s family. Therefore, special thanks are in order for my wife Stephanie and son Kylor. Thank you for your devotion, understanding, and encouragement throughout what was often a very difficult process. I will always regret the many Saturday trips to the park that I missed, but I promise to make them up as best I can as I begin my new life as Dr.

Dr. Bhimrao R Ambedkar and Nelson R Mandela-The Similarities and Contrast in the Movement of Two Icons of 20Th Century Fought for Suppressed
DR. BHIMRAO R AMBEDKAR AND NELSON R MANDELA-THE SIMILARITIES AND CONTRAST IN THE MOVEMENT OF TWO ICONS OF 20TH CENTURY FOUGHT FOR SUPPRESSED DR. DHARMAJI KHARAT Sr. Faculty in English P.V.P., Sndt Women’s University, Juhu, Santacruz (West), MUMBAI -49 (MS) INDIA Caste is inner and hidden discrimination whereas race is outer and open discrimination. Inner and hidden discrimination is more dangerous than the open one. Discrimination of gender is the experience of all families. Every person has concern for and together all people can take a firm stand against the cases of gender discrimination happens in any part of the country and the world. But, caste discrimination is the problem of particular groups of people and it can’t be the experience of all. Therefore, only the victimized and marginal groups of people come together to fight against caste discrimination happens. People belonging to non SC/ST do not standby the sufferer. On the contrary, many educated stupid believe in caste system. Starting from M.K. Gandhi to every Indian, we, the Indians have open heartedly supported the mission of Dr.Nelson Mandela. Because we are blacks and we knew that Mandela fights for equality so we supported. But, the same higher class black feels proud and happy to exploit other backward class blacks in their own country. Blacks are everywhere throughout the world therefore, almost all the nations representative have supported the mission of Mandela. Caste-system exists in India and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was one man army who fought the battle against established.

Stroud Abstract This article explores the contours of the Indian pragmatist Bhimrao Ambedkar and his reconstruction of Buddhism in the 1950s. As a student of John Dewey at Columbia University, young Ambedkar was heavily influenced by the pragmatist ideas of democracy and reconstruction. Throughout his life he would continue to evoke Dewey’s words and ideas in his fight against caste injustice in India. This article explores the possibility that Ambedkar could have been influenced by Dewey’s work, “Creative Democracy—The Task Before Us.” In exploring the intriguing evidence that points toward such an influence, Ambedkar’s The Buddha and His Dhamma emerges as a site of pragmatist reconstruction of Buddhism and as a personal democratic guide to action.

Ambedkarite Productions of Space
Article CASTE: A Global Journal on Social Exclusion Vol. 1, No. 2, pp. 31–50 brandeis.edu/j-caste October 2020 ISSN 2639-4928 DOI: 10.26812/caste.v1i2.199 Leisure, Festival, Revolution: Ambedkarite Productions of Space Thomas Crowley1 Abstract This article analyzes the town of Mahad in the state of Maharashtra, using it as a lens to examine protests and commemorations that are inseparable from Ambedkarite and Neo-Buddhist transformations of space. A key site of anti-caste struggle, Mahad witnessed two major protests led by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in 1927: the claiming of water from Chavdar Tale, a tank located in a upper caste neighbourhood; and the burning of the Manusmriti. These events are commemorated every year with large-scale festivities. The article analyzes the ways that these protests and festivities have worked to produce a distinctly Ambedkarite space, one that is radically counterposed to hierarchical, Brahminical productions of space. Exploring the writings of Ambedkar and more recent Ambedkarite scholars, and putting these texts into dialogue with the spatial theories of Henri Lefebvre, the article contributes to a growing international literature on the spatiality of caste. The Navayana Buddhism pioneered by Ambedkar has been analyzed in terms of its ideology, its pragmatism, and its politics, but rarely in terms of its spatiality. Drawing on Lefebvre helps flesh out this spatial analysis while a serious engagement with neo-Buddhist practices helps to expand, critique and globalize some of Lefebvre’s key claims. Keywords Ambedkar, Lefebvre, Mahad, neo-Buddhism, festival, revolution Introduction The market town of Mahad sits on a small plateau in the foothills of the Sahyadri mountains in the western Indian state of Maharasthra.

Buddhism and the Global Bazaar in Bodh Gaya, Bihar
DESTINATION ENLIGHTENMENT: BUDDHISM AND THE GLOBAL BAZAAR IN BODH GAYA, BIHAR by David Geary B.A., Simon Fraser University, 1999 M.A., Carleton University, 2003 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Anthropology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2009 © David Geary, 2009 ABSTRACT This dissertation is a historical ethnography that examines the social transformation of Bodh Gaya into a World Heritage site. On June 26, 2002, the Mahabodhi Temple Complex at Bodh Gaya was formally inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. As a place of cultural heritage and a monument of “outstanding universal value” this inclusion has reinforced the ancient significance of Bodh Gaya as the place of Buddha's enlightenment. In this dissertation, I take this recent event as a framing device for my historical and ethnographic analysis that details the varying ways in which Bodh Gaya is constructed out of a particular set of social relations. How do different groups attach meaning to Bodh Gaya's space and negotiate the multiple claims and memories embedded in place? How is Bodh Gaya socially constructed as a global site of memory and how do contests over its spatiality im- plicate divergent histories, narratives and events? In order to delineate the various historical and spatial meanings that place holds for different groups I examine a set of interrelated transnational processes that are the focus of this dissertation: 1) the emergence of Buddhist monasteries, temples and/or guest houses tied to international pilgrimage; 2) the role of tourism and pilgrimage as a source of economic livelihood for local residents; and 3) the role of state tourism development and urban planning.

Life & Mission Dr B R Ambedkar Compiled by Sanjeev Nayyar
Life & Mission Dr B R Ambedkar Compiled by Sanjeev Nayyar March 2003 Book by Dhananjay Keer Courtesy & Copyright Popular Prakashan For those of us born after 1950 Dr Ambedkar is mostly remembered to as the Father of the Indian Constitution. He is also referred to as the Savior of the Depressed Classes called Dalits today. I had always wanted to read about him but the man aroused me after I read his book ‘Thoughts on Pakistan’. His style is well researched, simple, straight possibly blunt. He came across as a very well read person whose arguments were based on sound logic. After completing the book I was in awe of the man’s intellect. Where did this Man come from? Why do the depressed classes worship him today? What were the problems that he had to undergo? Why did he become a Buddhist? What were his views on Ahimsa? Not knowing whether any book would satisfy my quest for knowledge I went to my favorite bookshop at the Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan & was fortunate to find a book by D Keer. Having read Life Story of Veer Savarkar by the same author I instinctively knew that this was the book. Dr Ambedkar is referred to as BRA & Depressed Classes as DC henceforth. How have I compiled this piece? Done a précis of the book taking the most important events in BRA’s life. Focused on the problems faced by him, his achievements, dual with Gandhi, role in India’s Independence movement & framing India’s Constitution, reasons for embracing Buddhism. The book also has extensive quotations from historic interviews & inspiring speeches.

Anupama Rao Violence and Humanity: Or, Vulnerability As Political Subjectivity
Anupama Rao Violence and Humanity: Or, Vulnerability as Political Subjectivity the ghastliest incidence of sexual violence in recent memory in India’s Maharashtra state occurred on September 29, 2006 in the village of Khairlanji, Bhandara district. What began as a land grab by local agriculturalists ended in the rape and mutilation of 44-year-old Surekha Bhotmange and her teenaged student daughter, Priyanka, and the brutal murder of Surekha’s two sons, Roshan and Sudhir, ages 19 and 21, respectively. By all accounts, this was an upwardly mobile Dalit family.1 Sudhir was a graduate. He worked as a laborer with his visually impaired brother to earn extra money. Priyanka had completed high school at the top of her class. However, the family was paraded naked, beaten, stoned, sexually abused, and then murdered by a group of men from the Kunbi and Kalar agricultural castes. Surekha and her daughter, Priyanka, were bitten, beaten black and blue, and gang-raped in full public view for an hour before they died. Iron rods and sticks were later inserted in their genitalia. The private parts and faces of the young men were disfigured. “When the dusk had settled, four bodies of this dalit family lay strewn at the village choupal [square], with the killers pump- ing their fists and still kicking the bodies. The rage was not over. Some angry men even raped the badly mutilated corpses of the two women” (Vidarbha Jan Andolan Samiti 2006). The bodies were later scattered at the periphery of the village. social research Vol. 78 : No. 2 : Summer 2011 607 It took more than a month for the news to spread.
