208 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES

(5) The statement includes Europeans under the category of “General”. From this it may be presumed that the Europeans will have the right to vote for the election of representatives to the Constituent Assembly. Are the Europeans entitled to put up Europeans as candidates for the election of the Constituent Assembly? This is not made clear in the Statement.

These are questions which require clarification. I shall feel grateful if you will be so good as to favour me with your answers to them. I am leaving Delhi tonight for Bombay. Any reply that you may like to make to the questions set out above may kindly be sent to my address in Bombay, which is given below.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar” [1]
