Sample of BR Ambedkar's handwriting from the Riddles in Hinduism manuscript

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Sample of BR Ambedkar's handwriting from the manuscript of Riddles in Hinduism manuscript: " What is more ridiculous is the teaching of the Great Shankaracharya. For it was this Shankarcharya who taught that there is Brahma and this Brahma is real and that it pervades all and at the same time upheld all the inequities of the Brahmanic society. Only a lunatic could be happy with being the propounder of two such contradictions."
