NEW DELHI:
The All-India Confederation of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and the All-India Christian Council (AICC) will observe "Religious Freedom Day" on October 14 to mark the day when Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar converted to Buddhism in 1956. They will also celebrate the 2550th anniversary of "mahaparinirvana divas" (salvation day) of Lord Buddha at Nagpur on October 13 and 14.
Talking to reporters here on Friday, Confederation chairman Udit Raj said dalits and people from other minority communities were welcome to come to Nagpur and convert to Christianity and Buddhism.
The two-day function would be marked by a discourse on freedom of religion.
