HINDUS RESPONSIBLE FOR SIN OF UNTOUCHABILITY

“Dr. Ambedkar was presented with an address of welcome by Belgaum Municipality at Belgaum on December 26, 1939.

Replying to the address, Dr. Ambedkar said that Caste Hindus and none else were responsible for the sin of Untouchability, which he was trying to remove by working for the uplift of Harijans. The question of tackling the problem of Harijans was more urgent than even that of winning Swaraj. ” [1]
