500 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
the House to clause 102 of the Departmental Bill which corresponds to clause
101 of the final Bill. This was introduced for the first time by the Departmental Bill. The Select Committee made some changes, but the Departmental Committee had introduced a serious change. It is provided in the Departmental Bill that if there was a male and a female in the same line, the male shall take double of the female. In the final Bill their shares are made equal.

It is admitted there are departures but only some important items may be taken for the purpose of showing that on account of these departures the Bill should be sent to the Select Committee or to another Select Committee or that it must go round the country for opinion. I think we are taking too much time on this.

Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad : I can quite appreciate the exasperation of one or two Members.
Shri B. Das : Sir, he is using the same word !
Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad : Sir, I draw attention of the House to clause
103 of the Departmental Bill which corresponds to clause 102.............
Mr. Deputy Speaker : I have already pointed out with reference to this.
Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad : This is an important matter.
Mr. Deputy Speaker : I can only suggest to the honourable Member. I cannot argue for him. I can only say that instances need
