King Ashoka established his empire on the foundation of Dhamma and he sent Arhant Bhikkhus to countries like Srilanka, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam to enlighten the world with Buddha's Dhamma.

        Bodhisattva Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar developed his indomitable leadership on the foundation of Dhamma and led the masses of India out of slavery and untouchability. On 14th October 1956 Babasaheb embraced Buddha Dhamma along with 5 lakhs of his followers at Nagpur.
