434 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Narrator : But Gandhi’s motives were strong enough, after he had gone back to India, to be tested in the great fast at Poona. He was prepared for it, Pyarelal remembers, amid the conflicts of the London Conference.
Pyarelal Nayar : He said he would not sell the vital interests of the Untouchables even for the sake of India’s independence, but he knew that separate electrorates were not good for the vast mass of Untouchables. He said, therefore, that he would resist it even if he were alone, with his life. At that time again, nobody thought what it would ultimately result in.” [1]
