| Note | A hindu reformed group in 1936 invited B.R. Ambedkar to deliver their presidential address and chart a path to end the cast esystem. When he argued that the immorality of caste was sustained by the Vedas and shastras, and without 'dynamiting' them there could be no reform, they withdrew their invitation.
Ambedkar published the text on his own. Mahatma Gandhi responded to the provocation. The hatchet was never buried. It has generated inevitable questions about political representation, caste, privilege and power in Indian society. |
