DR. AMBEDKAR’S MEMORANDUM
London, October 25
“Dr. B.R. Ambedkar sent letters last night to the British Prime Minister, the Secretary of State for India, Mr. Winston Churchill and other statesmen.
The letters requested interviews so that Dr. Ambedkar may state his case.
Others with whom he has communicated include Lord Templewood (formerly Sir Samuel Hoare), Lord Scarborough (formerly Sir Roger Lumley), Lord Linlithgow and Lord Salisbury.
Dr. Ambedkar last night told Reuter’s political correspondent, “I have written also to various other friends who took part in the Round Table Conferences and know the conditions of the Scheduled Castes. I have prepared a memorandum analysing the figures for the primary elections with a view to showing that it is quite untrue to say that the Congress represents the Scheduled Castes.”
The memorandum is being printed and copies will be given to the various statesmen approached.—Reuter.” [1]
