Why Dr. Ambedkar renounced Hinduism?

Ambedkar’s statement in 1935 at Yeola Conference was that the untouchables in India occupied a weak and lowly status only because there were a part of the Hindu society.

When attempts to gain equal status and “ordinary rights as human beings” within the Hindu society started failing, Ambedkar thought it was essential to embrace a religion which would give “equal rights and fair treatment” to untouchables. He is supposed to have clearly said to his supporters that they should embrace a religion which wouldl give “equal status, equal rights and fair treatment” to the untouchables. He is reported to have told his supporters that they should select only that religion in which one would get equal status, equal opportunity and equal treatment etc..

Evidentily this did not happen because more than seventy years on the so called dalits, including those who embraced Buddhism, are still discriminated against by the upper castes/classes of Hindu society including Christians and Muslims, under the fig leaf of positive discrimination (reservations) that the post independence Hindu leadership has thrown to them as one threw a dog a bone.
If Dr. Ambedkar , ‘’after a comparative study of different religions’’, concluded that Bhuddhism was the best religion, from the angle of uplifting his fellow untouchables, he was sadly mistaken.

He, Dr. Ambedkar, did his followers a great disservice in not choosing either Islam or Christianity and the reason is quite simple. He had to compromise with Mahatma Gandhi and his choice of Buddhism was therefore merely a compromise which had nor has anything to do with untouchability.

Can one imagine where the great Untouchable Dalit would have been if he , Dr. Ambedkar had negotiated with Christian missionaries to act as agents of change?
