and the credit goes to you of having proved beyond doubt that many of the so-called Congress leaders, professing sympathy for us are‘ slippery customers.’ It is now for you, Sir, to augment your work at the R.T.C. by continuing to espouse our cause in your own inimitable way in the Franchise Committee which to start work before long. It would be in the fitness of thing to urge upon you not to be content with any thing less than equality of status and treatment for your brothren, and we fully trust that you will do your, utmost for securing these objects in the Franchise Committee as well and in all other work connected with the building up of the constitution for this country.
Oppressed, tyranised and exploited as we are by one and all from ages long, we do feel that your advent on the horizon of public life was for us a day to be written in Golden ink. The new life and spirit which you enthused in us at Mahad, Nasik and other places to achieve our ordinary human rights have awoke us to our rights and claims and have made us give a burial to our inferiority complex. The sense of responsibility and the present out look of our community which is now out to assert its rights all over the country it will not be and exaggration to say, is but the fruit of your efforts and guidance, we know the tremendous sacrifice you are Making for a community for whom there are but few friends.
itis needless for us to repeat that all our interests, political or otherwise, are safe in your hands and we look to you and to you alone, as our trusted leader, who would lead us and to political power in this country which alone, we are convinced would bring salvation to our oppressed commu- nity, we remain.
Your's truly
