Hindu philosophy has stifled progress in India from "summary" of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, Writings and Speeches: Philosophy of Hinduism ; India and the pre-requisites of communism ; Revolution and counter-revolution ; Buddha or Karl Marx by Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar,Vasant Moon

The hindrance to progress in India can be traced back to the influence of Hindu philosophy. This philosophy, deeply ingrained in the Indian society, has created barriers that hinder the advancement of the country. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, in his writings and speeches, delves into the impact of Hindu philosophy on the development of India. One of the key issues highlighted by Dr. Ambedkar is the rigid caste system perpetuated by Hindu philosophy. This system categorizes individuals into fixed social groups based on their birth, thereby restricting social mobility and perpetuating inequality. This has led to discrimination and oppression of certain sections of society, stifling their potential for progress. Moreover, Hindu philosophy promotes fatalism and acceptance of one's fate, which hinders the drive for change and improvement. The belief in karma and rebirth reinforces the idea that one's current situation is the result of past actions, discouraging individuals from striving for a better future. This mindset impedes progress and innovation in society. Furthermore, the hierarchical nature of Hindu society, with its emphasis on hierarchy and inequality, creates a barrier to unity and collaboration. Divisions based on caste, gender, and class hinder collective efforts towards progress and development. This fragmentation weakens the social fabric and hampers the overall growth of the country. In addition, the religious dogmas and superstitions promoted by Hindu philosophy can hinder scientific and rational thinking. Belief in supernatural forces and rituals can impede the adoption of evidence-based practices and innovations. This resistance to change and modernization stagnates progress in various fields, from technology to healthcare.
  1. The influence of Hindu philosophy on Indian society has created a set of barriers that impede progress and development. The perpetuation of the caste system, fatalistic mindset, social divisions, and religious dogmas have collectively stifled the growth of the country. It is essential to critically examine and challenge these traditional beliefs to pave the way for progress and advancement in India.
