The Buddha and His Dhamma, is a 1957 posthumous work by the Indian scholar and social reformer B. R. Ambedkar on Buddha's life and philosophy. It presents Ambedkar's interpretation of Buddhism, reinterpreting traditional teachings in a modern framework that emphasises social equality, ethics, and the rejection of the caste system. The book serves as a foundational text for Navayana, where it is regarded as a sacred scripture by followers. Ambedkar completed the manuscript shortly before his death and his public conversion to Buddhism in October 1956.
