The history of India is a history of mortal conflict between Buddhism and Brahmanism. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar

Just as the Brahmins are shouting Hinduise India, we should shout Dalitise India. Shout that we hate Hinduism, we hate Brahmanism. Capture the Hindu temples by expelling the Brahmins from them. ... The hated must hate. They must become powerful and organised. I want to create anger. Kancha Ilaiah

The more superficially one studies Buddhism, the more it seems to differ from the Brahmanism in which it originated; the more profound our study, the more difficult it becomes to distinguish Buddhism from Brahmanism. Ananda K. Coomaraswamy
