In response to the requests by Buddhists here in India and elsewhere in the Buddhist countries of the world and also by some philosophers and religious leaders in other countries, we are now bringing out a second edition of "The Buddha and His Dhamma".

We had first published Dr. Ambedkar's "The Buddha and His Dhamma" in 1957 almost within a year of his Nirvana. As this new and consistent commentary of the Dhamma by Dr. Ambedkar became almost the Bible of the Indian Buddhists, we later published a Hindi as well as a Marathi version of The Dhamma.
