How to read
Dhamma Pitak is not only a list of books; it is a digital reading room that brings reading, listening, search, stories, quiz, and idea lineage together.
How do I read a book?
Open Library, choose a volume, then Read the text. Pages turn with arrows or ← → on a keyboard.
How do languages work?
Use the globe in the header (or the language cards on Home). The whole site — menus, reader, listen, quiz, and search — follows that language.
How do I listen?
Open Listen, pick a volume, or open Stories for short narrated chapters.
What is Idea Lineage?
Idea Lineage connects key themes such as caste, rights, and Dhamma across volumes and years, so readers can follow one idea through Babasaheb’s writings.
Do I need an account?
You can browse, read, and take the quiz without an account. After ten minutes, sign in to keep reading or listening. Sign in also saves bookmarks and progress.
Where is the phone app?
Add this website to your home screen (Share → Add to Home Screen on iPhone, or Install in Chrome). The full library, stories, quiz, and reading room are available here.
What is on this website?
The website includes the BAWS library, listening room, stories, quiz, saved reading, multilingual navigation, and information pages explaining the project, privacy, terms, and contact.
How can I support this work?
The encyclopedia is free. Write via Contact if you wish to help with corrections or digitisation.
