290 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
criticism. Avoid doing wanton injury to anybody, exert to help every one who needs your help and you will be rendering great service to our people. Hitherto your activities have been mainly concerned with sustaining our political life. There are other fields to which you should extend your activities. In towns one often hears women being kidnapped by some rascals. In villages one often hears our people being tyrannized by the caste Hindus. These are cases in which you should exert yourselves. These are serious cases in which oraganizations like yours can only help.
I am glad you have passed a resolution to hold an AllIndia Conference of all Depressed Classes Volunteers Corps. It is a happy idea which if it fructifies will result in great good. I wish you all success.
I thank you and your President for allowing me to say these few words to you.
Mr. S. V. Ramteke expressed the thanks. Thereafter the President declared the Session as dissolved. [1]
