  <abstract>The book The Buddha and His Dhamma by B.R. Ambedkar is a seminal interpretation of the life, teachings, and philosophy of the Buddha. Written as Ambedkar's final major work, the book presents Buddhism as a rational, ethical, and socially engaged path grounded in compassion, equality, and justice. It examines the Buddha's life, the principles of Dhamma, and key Buddhist concepts while offering a modern perspective on religion, morality, and social transformation. Widely regarded as a foundational text of Navayana Buddhism, the book is an essential resource for students, scholars, and readers interested in Buddhism, Indian philosophy, religious studies, social justice, and Ambedkar's intellectual legacy.</abstract>
