Ambedkar's views on Buddhism and Marxism 

Ambedkar gave a speech titled “Buddha or Karl Marx” at the Fourth Conference of the Buddhist World Fellowship in 1956, where he compared Marx, the architect of a political ideology, alongside Buddha, a religious figure; seemingly two incommensurable figures at the outset.
However, Ambedkar did not feel anything odd about this comparison.
This was because, for Ambedkar, both Buddhism and Marxism were representing “just social ends” and entailed a political project within themselves that is concerned with the emancipation of the exploited.
