1 lakh dalits to adopt Buddhism in Guj: Vishwa Bouddh Sangh
Press Trust of India
Jaipur, September 9

Nearly one lakh dalits will adopt Buddhism in Gujarat next month, national president of Vishwa Bouddh Sangh Bhikkhu Budh Priya Rahul said in Jaipur on Tuesday.

The Sangh would organise deekshas for the dalits in various parts of Gujarat on October 5, Rahul told reporters.

He said the Bouddh Sangh would also work for removing economic and social inequalities in Rajasthan by creating self-confidence among the downtrodden through spiritual enlightenment.

Bhikkhu Rahul said the Sangh was starting its units at Ajmer, Jodhpur, Pali, Ganganagar, Churu and Khetari towns also.
