He was joined by <strong>over half a million people<\/strong>, mostly from Dalit and marginalized communities, who followed his lead. They weren\u2019t just changing their religion. They were reclaiming their <strong>self-respect<\/strong>, their <strong>humanity<\/strong>, and their <strong>right to live with dignity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ambedkarite Buddhist Association of Texas (ABAT) would like to invite you to celebrate the 69th Dhamma Chakra Pravartan Din with your friends and family.
