Gujarat Assembly Speaker says BR Ambedkar was 'Brahmin'

Gujarat Assembly Speaker Rajendra Trivedi on Saturday said that BR Ambedkar was a 'Brahmin' and that there is nothing wrong in calling a learned person a Brahmin. "In that context, I will say that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also a Brahmin," Trivedi added. Notably, Ambedkar was a social reformer who campaigned against discrimination against Dalits.
