Hindu Code Bill and its purpose—By Dharmadeo Vidyavachaspati in Hindi - Page 552

Annexure II

Government of India, through its Publication Division had published a book by name ‘Hindu Code Bill and its purpose’ in Hindi language during the 50s. This book contained two speeches of Dr. Ambedkar delivered in the Constituent Assembly, Press reports of the speeches against the Code by Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath and Swami Karpatriji; and the articles supporting the Code by an eminent Vedic Scholar Pandit Dharmadeo Vidyavachaspati. The book also included text of the Hindu Code along with the press-reports supporting it.

It has been felt by the Committee Members that the inclusion of articles by Dharmadeo Vidyavachaspati from the Hindi book in the present volume would be of utmost help to the reader to understand how the reform introduced by Dr. Ambedkar had the support of the Hindu scriptures also. I hope students and scholars alike would benefit by these articles.
