Expecting Brahmins to reform caste is as absurd as Parliament killing blue-eyed babies

Evidence

I think these remarks apply equally to the Brahmins of India, and one can say with equal truth that if a man who becomes a Pope has no wish to become a revolutionary, a man who is born a Brahmin has much less desire to become a revolutionary. Indeed, to expect a Brahmin to be a revolutionary in matters of social reform is as idle as to expect the British Parliament, as was said by Leslie Stephen, to pass an Act requiring all blue-eyed babies to be murdered. — Ambedkar, B R, Annihilation of Caste_ The Annotated…, 965
