Protesters Attempt to Burn Ambedkar's Works in Bhind
In Bhind, Madhya Pradesh, some people from the Savarna Army and Parashuram Sena were very angry.
They tried to burn books and writings by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar because they were upset about another group, the Bhim Army, burning an old religious book called the Manusmriti.
The police stopped them and took one person away.
The Bhim Army then protested at the police station, asking for the people who tried to burn Ambedkar's books to be punished.
The police are trying to keep everything calm.
