Ambedkar Grandson Dispute Erupts Over Political Alliances
The grandsons of B R Ambedkar, who was a very important leader for people of lower castes in India, are fighting.
One grandson, Anandraj, joined up with a political party.
The other grandson, Prakash, is mad because he thinks this new alliance is not good for their people.
The grandsons used to want to work together, but now they disagree on how to help people.
The alliance has also caused other political parties to split.
They are arguing about who is right and what is best for the community.
Anandraj Ambedkar's Republican Sena has allied with Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena.
