Reason and Assertion Type. Assertion [A] : Dr. Ambedkar observed that the rise of Buddhism was as significant as the French revolution. Reason [R] : Dr. Ambedkar delivered a speech at Colombo, Srilanka on “The Rise and fall of Buddhism in India”.
Both [A] and [R] are true, but [R] is not the correct explanation of [A]
In his writing on Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Ancient India, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar described the rise of Buddhism as a revolution, saying it was as great a revolution as the French Revolution. So the Assertion is true.
In 1950 Dr. Ambedkar visited Ceylon for the World Fellowship of Buddhists conference and delivered a speech at Colombo on The Rise and Fall of Buddhism in India. So the Reason is also true.
However, giving a lecture in Colombo does not explain why he compared the rise of Buddhism with the French Revolution; the two statements are independent facts.
Hence, Both [A] and [R] are true, but [R] is not the correct explanation of [A].
