Over 300 Dalits convert to Buddhism in Gujarat
Over 200 Dalits from Ahmedabad and over 100 Dalits from Vadodara embraced Buddhism on the occasion of Ashoka Vijaya Dashami on Saturday. "There wasn't any particular organisation behind this program...over 100 persons converted voluntarily," said Rohit, the zonal coordinator of Bahujan Samaj Party. Over 200 Dalits from Gujarat converted to Buddhism in three separate events in October last year.
