“Who took care of Ambedkar as a child? A Brahmin!
“Who took care of Ambedkar as a child? A Brahmin!
A. The essence of Alt News' rebuttal is that since there was an aunt, an elder brother & Ramji Sakpal,Dr Ambedkar’s father,passed away,only in 1913,when Dr Ambedkar was in his early twenties.Therefore, for the first 18 years of his life, his father was the de facto guardian.
2. Who took care of Ambedkar’s education? A Brahmin!
3. Who funded Ambedkar’s foreign education? A Hindu nationalist king Sayajirao Gaekwad

A. From 1896 to 1906 Dhananjay Keer, his biographer, does not mention any shortage of funds. So it is unlikely that
a Brahmin assisted him in this stage.
Post his matriculation, his subsequent education, both in India & abroad was supported by the Hindu Maharajah of Baroda Sayaji Rao Gaikwad III.

His second wife was Dr.Sharada Kabir a Sarasvat Brahmin who
changed her name to Savita Ambedkar & converted to Buddhism on marriage.
5. Who married Ambedkar’s sisters? Brahmins.
A. As per Alt News this is not borne out by Ambedkar's biographer Keer's account & also denied by Prakash Ambedkar, his grandson. They were not Brahmins.

Who gave his surname Ambedkar? A Brahmin
A. “As his teacher, Mahadev Ambedkar was very fond of him, the teacher changed Bhimrao Ramji’s surname to Ambedkar.”
Alt News cites overwhelming evidence that it was his Brahmin school teacher who gave him his name.
