* Rodrigues, Valerian (2024). ''Ambedkar's Political Philosophy: A Grammar of Public Life from the Social Margins''. Palgrave Macmillan. {{annotation|Argues that Ambedkar developed a distinct and internally consistent conceptual vocabulary for public life, reworking concepts inherited from liberalism, Marxism, and Gandhian thought from the standpoint of the socially marginalized rather than simply borrowing from any one tradition.}}
* Ober, Douglas (2023). ''Dust on the Throne: The Search for Buddhism in Modern India''. Stanford University Press. {{annotation|Chapter 5 documents the Buddhist networks, teachers, and institutions that Ambedkar drew on before 1956 and argues against the notion that he built Buddhism from scratch; chapter 7 treats his relations with Nehru's government and the Left.}}
* Geetha, V. (2021). ''Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar and the Question of Socialism in India''. Palgrave Macmillan (Marx, Engels, and Marxisms series). {{annotation|A monograph-length study of Ambedkar's ambivalent relationship to socialism, culminating in a close reading of "Buddha or Karl Marx" as an argument for fraternal ethics and economic justice achieved through Buddhist rather than Marxist means; situates his Buddhism within debates on revolution, historical time, and the annihilation of caste.}}
* Gokhale, Pradeep P. (Ed.) (2021). ''Classical Buddhism, Neo-Buddhism and the Question of Caste''. Routledge. {{annotation|Proceedings of a seminar at Sarnath containing several chapters on Ambedkar and Marx, including Guru, Bagade, Gokhale, and Kumar, and a foreword by Gail Omvedt; useful for the range of scholarly positions on whether his Buddhism is compatible with Marxism.}}
* Skaria, Ajay (2015). "Ambedkar, Marx and the Buddhist Question". ''South Asia: Journal of South Asian Studies'' 38.3: 450–465. {{annotation|An interpretive article asking why a militant secularist converts to Buddhism and reading "Buddha or Karl Marx" and ''The Buddha and His Dhamma'' alongside Marx's "On the Jewish Question"; it claims no textual influence and its thesis is one scholar's reading.}}
* Gokhale, Balkrishna Govind (1999). "Theravada Buddhism and Modernization: Anagarika Dhammapala and B.R. Ambedkar". ''Journal of Asian and African Studies'' 34.1: 33–46. {{annotation|A comparative study contrasting Dharmapala's reaffirmation of Theravada Buddhism as a basis for Sinhalese cultural nationalism with Ambedkar's much later turn to Buddhism as an instrument of social liberation and cultural transcendence for India's untouchables.}}
* Aloysius, G. (1998). ''Religion as Emancipatory Identity: A Buddhist Movement among the Tamils under Colonialism''. New Age International. {{annotation|The standard monograph on the South Indian Buddhist movement, whose eighth chapter argues for Ambedkar's links with Tamil Buddhism and whose Appendix 10 reproduces his 1948 preface to Narasu; the Ambedkar thesis is the author's own and rests largely on inference and oral testimony.}}
