518 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES

During his speech Dr. Ambedkar compared himself with Moses who had led his people from Egypt to Palestine, the land of freedom. According to him, there were three causes for the decline of any religion. Lack of abiding principles in it ; lack of versatile and conquering orators ; and lack of easily understandable principles. He also declared that he was going to build a magnificient temple of Buddha.

Thus ended his last speech in Bombay. [1]
