Dr. Ambedkar considered the rise of Buddhism as revolution. The Counter-Revolution pioneered by he rebellion of Pushyamitra is regarded as the counter-revolution by Dr. Ambedkar and as the main cause behind the downfall of Buddhism in India.
Ambedkar voices his dissatisfaction with the emphasis laid on the Muslim invasions in India. He argues that the Muslim invasions of India only destroyed the external symbols of religion, while the Brahminist rebellion against Buddhist India destroyed the principles that governed the spiritual life of the people.
