522 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
SOLICITUDE FOR PEOPLE
“At the inauguration of the Round Table Conference in the Royal Gallery of the House of Lords on November 12, 1933 the King’s speech contained this passage:
“I have in mind the just claims of majorities and minorities, of men and women, of town dwellers and tillers of the soil, of landlords and tenants, of the strong and the weak, the rich and the poor, races, castes and creeds of which the body politics is composed. For these things I care deeply.”
“For these people and these things,” Mr. Butler concluded, “we care deeply. They are passing out of our immediate care. We are moved on this occasion and we wish those well who are assuming the Government and responsibility for the welfare of the Indian people.” [1]
