Evidence

Ambedkar was making a point he had always made—about his unease with being told that the Untouchables belong to the ‘Hindu’ fold. “I’m not a part of the whole. I am a part apart,” he was to say as a member of the Bombay Legislative Assembly in 1939. — Ambedkar, B R, Annihilation of Caste_ The Annotated…, 1305
