In his book Who Were the Shudras Vol 7, Dr Ambedkar dismisses the
Aryan race with absolute contempt. On page 85, he concludes by saying
(while dismissing the Aryan race theory) that:
The Vedas do not know any race referred to as the Aryan
There is no evidence in the Vedas of any invasion of India by the
Aryan race and its having conquered the Dasas and Dasyus who were
supposed to be natives of India
There is no evidence to show that the distinction between Aryans,
Dasas, and Dasyus was a racial distinction
The Vedas do not support the contention that the Aryans were different
in colour from the Dasas and Dasyus
In the same book (page 86), Dr Ambedkar writes:
“Enough has been said to show how leaky is the Aryan theory expounded
by western scholars and accepted by Brahmins. Yet, the theory has such
a hold on the people that what has been said against it may mean no
more than scotching it. Like the snake, it must be killed.”
On page 100, Dr Ambedkar writes: “In the face of the discovery of new
facts set out in this chapter, the theory can no longer stand and must
be thrown on the scrap heap.”
It is a real puzzle that Dr Ambedkar’s followers believe in the Aryan
race theory which he himself rejected. T
