Most Nobel prize winners from India are Brahmins, claims Gujarat Assembly Speaker

Rajendra Trivedi, Speaker of 14th Gujarat Legislative Assembly, lauded achievements of the Brahmin community towards the development of society. He was speaking during the inauguration of ‘Mega Brahmin Business Summit’ near Ahmedabad.

He mentioned people like BN Rau and Abhijit Banerjee to highlight the achievements of the community.

“Do you know that constitutions of 60 countries were studied and then our draft Constitution was prepared?” the Speaker said. “Do you know who presented that draft to Dr. BR Ambedkar? We all take Dr. BR Ambedkar’s name with respect when it comes to the Constitution. However, in his [Ambedkar’s] own words, the draft was prepared by BN Rau – Benegal Narsing Rau – a Brahmin," he said.

“Of eight Nobel prize winners in India, seven have gone to Brahmins. Does anyone remember the name of the ninth Nobel Prize recipient? Abhijit Banerjee got it. Abhijit Banerjee means a Brahmin,” he added.

While underlining several achievements of the Brahmin community, Trivedi said that BJP's foundation in the state of Gujarat was laid by three Brahmins: Chimanbhai Shukla, Suryakant Acharya and Ashok Bhatt.

“They set the base for the Jan Sangh in Gujarat,” he said. “Most of these people on the dais are mostly from BJP… The Brahmin community has always spoken about national interest, and because of that, the community has joined with the BJP and the RSS…”
