A Deekshabhumi book Store

I had been to Nagpur for almost 17 days. It was a good change for me though I was on duty. I was carrying a book of short stories by Rabindranath Tagore but somehow couldn't read a single story.

I visited Deekshabhumi at Nagpur, a place where Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar converted into Buddhism. My friend took me there. The place was very peaceful and huge. But we found one strange thing there. My friend said it could be the impact of Hindu religion on Buddhism. A Buddha idol was surrounded with 'Dan Peti' (Fund Box).

But important thing is that I found a bookstore there and just couldn't refrain myself from visiting it.
The book was full of Ambedkar and Dalit literature. It had many good authors in Hindi and English too. Apart from books it had Buddha idols, greetings, showpieces and many other things. I had to visit twice the place and still not satisfied.

I bought some good books. One of them was Dr Ambedkar's Who Were Shudras and D D Kosambi's Myth and Reality (both in Marathi). I had read the Shudras.... long ago but didn't have my own copy. Then I gifted two to my friend one was one of the best long story Sood written by Baburao Bagul and Shahid Bhagat Sing's Why I Am An Atheist (both in Marathi).

A second time I visited the store with to buy another copy of the Myth and Reality for my best friend. I just liked it and amazed by reading Kosambi's research work. I would gift him.
