DR. AMBEDKAR—LOHIA
CORRESPONDENCE
Hyderabad, 10th December 1955
Dear Dr. Ambedkar,
The enclosed folders are self-explanatory. “Mankind” would
try earnestly to reveal the caste problem in its entirety. It would
therefore be very happy to have an article from you. It expects its
articles to range between 2,500 and 4,000 words. You are of
course free to select your own subject. Should you select one or
the other aspect of the caste system prevalent in our country, I would
want you to write something which makes the people of India
sit up, not alone in anger, but also in wonderment. I do not know
whether the speeches I made about you during the parliamentary
campaign in Madhya Pradesh were communicated to you by
your lieutenant who also travelled with the me. Even now I very
much wish that sympathy should be Joined to anger and that you
became a leader not alone of the scheduled castes, but also of the Indian people.
The Zonal Study Camp would be very glad to have you in its midst. The accompanying list of subjects is meant to help. If you could give us a resume of your lecture in advance it would be good for purposes of publication afterwards. We expect that a lecture lasting an hour would be followed up by a discussion of similar duration.
I do not know whether the foundation conference of the Socialist Party would have any interest for you. Although you are not a member of the Party, the conference would want to have you as special invitee. The conference will take up, among other subjects, problems relating to agricultural labour, artisans, women and parliamentary work, on any one of which you have something
