The following is from serious of questions answered by Shekhar Bodhakar               

I assume by ‘Brahmin teacher’ you mean the teacher that the Biographer, a Brahmin sympathisr, Ananth Vitthal (pen name Dhananjay Keer) mentions in his biography of Dr Ambedkar.

If the young Bhimrao Ambedkar’s teacher didn’t hate him, he certainly didn’t love him either.

Here’s why? But first, answer a few questions as honestly as you can, without too much thought.

• If a person throws/drops food at you, or into your hands, because he doesn’t want to touch you just because you were born in a certain community, what would you think of that person?
• Do you think that person would ever love you?
• What if, despite you seeing his unchanging behaviour, day in day out, he says, “I really love you” would you believe that person?
• That’s exactly what happend between the young Bhimrao and his Brahmin teacher, hints Vitthal.

Now! why would Ananth Vitthal (Keer) say that Bhimrao’s Brahmin teacher loved him dearly and so ended up giving him his surname?

Ananth Vithal writes how loved the teacher was but doesn’t write how much Babasaheb must have hated the SAME TEACHER’S actions when food was dropped/thrown into his hands to avoid touching

The truth is that any Hindu/Brahmin sympethiser is more likely to highlight the good in Brahmans and is less likely to go out of his way to condemn the actions of Brahmins.

Vitthal too would never go out of his way to write anything that may disgrace his community. Would you? Keer’s is the onlyavailable written claim made that Bhimrao’s teacher loved him, ironically in the same paragraph that he mentions the throwing/dropping of food into Bhimrao’s hands. Vitthal, despite being an eminent biographer gives no reference. He simply states it. So, we cannot say that Bhimrao Ambedkar’s Brahmin teacher loved him. On the contrary, we can logically conclude that:

THE YOUNG BHIMRAO AMBEDKAR’S BRAHMIN TEACHER DID NOT LOVE BHIMRAO AT ALL.

NOTE: Keer was one of the best biographers of his days. He wrote biographies of Tilak, Sarvarkar, Gandhi and Phule too.Even Dr Ambedkar praised his writing style. That does not mean Dr Ambedkar agreed with all that Keer wrote. Keer even refers to Dr Ambedkar as “the modern Manu. Surely Dr Ambedkar could not have approved of this in his biography.
