| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study attempted to establish a historical context in which modern Indian political thought and political and social movements took place under the leadership of Gandhi and Ambedkar. The hypothesis that emerged from those scholars who joined this study, ranging from Gandhian scholars to researchers of the Dalit Movements, is that both men sought a society, which would be equal in substance, while accommodating the diversity of language, ethnicity and especially religion. While Gandhi achieved the elimination of international discrimination through independence to a large extent, Ambedkar tried to eliminate domestic discrimination through the abolition of the caste system. He attempted to show the way to an equal society, which would go beyond the Hinduism which underpinned the caste system, through his own conversion to Buddhism.
