Objective of study: The objective of the present research work was to study the views of Dr B R Ambedkar on religion and philosophy. Methodology: The information aws collected through literatures and speeches recorded. Results: Ambedkar interpreted the basic tenets of religions from the dalit viewpoint of the prevailing socio-cultural situation in India. He saw religion not as a means to spiritual salvation of individual souls, but as a ‘social doctrine’ for establishing the righteous relations between man and man. His philosophy of religion does not mean either theology or religion. The Conversion Event of 1956 spearheaded by Babasaheb Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, the turn of events and debates that preceded it as well as the various ways in which scholars have looked at the Neo-Buddhist movement in India, can be seen as constituting a 'critical event' not only in the biography of the Indian Nation but also in the biographies of those who identify themselves as Buddhists in India today. Conclusion: The present study is an exploration of the ideas of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar views on religion.
