The Dalit Buddhist movement (also known as Neo-Buddhist movement)is a socio-political movement by Dalits in India started by B. R. Ambedkar. It radically re-interpreted Buddhism and created a new school of Buddhism called Navayana. The movement has sought to be a socially and politically engaged form of Buddhism.
The movement was launched in 1956 by Ambedkar when nearly half a million Dalits – formerly untouchables – joined him and converted to his Navayana Buddhism.[4] It rejected Hinduism, challenged the caste system and promoted the rights of the Dalit community.The movement also rejected the teachings of traditional Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana sects of Buddhism, and took an oath to pursue a new form of engaged Buddhism as taught by Ambedkar.

The motto of the Dalit Movement was “Equality for all”.
Explanation:
- The movement spoke about the equality of all members of the society. This is because the Dalit faced many problems in the society by the upper and the richer classes.
- It speaks about establishment of a special order based on the social justice for all people, education, health care facilities, socioeconomic status, religious principle etc. They actually wanted equality with the other castes of the Hindus.
