...the Buddha whose near-materialist philosophy gripped the mass of suppressed humanity...those belonging to the materialist school had to fight an unequal fight and were therefore defeated...the defeat of the materialists in this unequal battle was the beginning of a millennium-long age of intellectual and socio-political backwardness which culminated in the establishment of British rule in our land. (E. M. S. Namboodiripad)
