Dr. Ambedkar Didn't Say "If Hindus Migrate To Other Regions On Earth, Indian Caste Would Become A World Problem."

S. V. Ketkar on Hindus migrate / Dr. Ambedkar Misquote

"As long as caste in India does exist, Hindus will hardly intermarry or have any social intercourse with outsiders; and if Hindus migrate to other regions on earth, Indian caste would become a world problem."

The above lines are often attributed to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. Everyone knows that Babasaheb had a strong critique of Brahmanism / Hinduism. However, the above lines were not uttered by him. Many people wrongly quote the above mentioned words of Dr. Shridhar Ketkar as Babasaheb's words. Of course they may have taken these lines from Babasaheb's "Castes in India: Their Mechanism, Genesis and Development". Babasaheb had mentioned the original source that was taken from Dr. Shridhar Ketkar's "History of Caste in India, (Chapter 1, Page. 4)". Interestingly, Dr. Ketkar was a Chitpavan Brahmin from Maharashtra. He was a sociologist and historian.
