Ambedkar negotiated a compromise with the inn-keeper, proposing to register with a false Parsi name. The inn-keeper agreed, and Ambedkar was allowed to stay; however, this was eventually discovered by other Parsis on the eleventh day of Ambedkar's stay, when a group of angry Parsi men, armed with sticks, arrived to remove him from the inn.
Riddles in Hinduism is an English language book by the Indian social reformer and political leader B. R. Ambedkar, aimed at enlightening the Hindus, and challenging the sanatan (static) view of Hindu civilization circulated by "European scholars and Brahmanic theology".
The book focuses on the urgent need for social reform to take precedence over political and religious reform in Indian society. Ambedkar meticulously exposes the tyranny imposed by upper-caste Hindus on the untouchable community, providing instances of discrimination and advocating for the reconstruction of Hindu society.
