Ambedkar borrowed eugenicist language popular with European fascists

Evidence

This unfortunate way of describing a community was sometimes aimed at non-Adivasis too, in an equally troubling manner. At one point in Annihilation of Caste Ambedkar resorts to using the language of eugenics, a subject that was popular with European fascists: “Physically speaking the Hindus are a C3 people. They are a race of pygmies and dwarfs, stunted in stature and wanting in stamina.” — Ambedkar, B R, Annihilation of Caste_ The Annotated…, 368
