Ambedkar’s doctorate studied provincial finance, not caste.

Evidence

11 While Ambedkar did write a paper called “Castes in India” in 1916 during his years in Columbia University, the subject of his doctoral dissertation was not the caste system. His doctoral work was on The Evolution of Provincial Finance in British India: A Study in the Provincial Decentralisation of Imperial Finance, and it was later published by P.S. King and Co., London, in 1925, with a foreword by Edwin Seligman who taught Ambedkar at Columbia. — Ambedkar, B R, Annihilation of Caste_ The Annotated…, 1224
