Most Nobel prize winners from India, including recent recipient Abhijeet Banerjee, are Brahmins, and it was a Brahmin, B N Rau, who made the draft Constitution and handed it over to Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, Gujarat Assembly Speaker Rajendra Trivedi said at the inauguration of a ‘Brahmin Business Summit’ on Friday.

India-born Banerjee along with France’s Esther Duflo, both professors in the US, won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2019.
