Dr. Ambedkar, | had hoped, would some day be able to rise above the situation. but death came early. Mr. Jagjivan Ram maintams an apparent good-will towards all Indians and Hindus and although he is known to flatter and kowtow to the caste Hindus when he deals with them. he is reported to sing to the bitter tunes of hatred in exclusively Harijan meetings. This is stil] no basis for the uplift either of Hanjans or of India. But Dr. Ambedkar’s type also needs to be modified.

I do not know the men who now run the Scheduled Castes Federation. But I wish that the Scheduled Castes of India were persuaded to make a rational estimate of the last 40 years of Indian politics. [wish they continue to have the symbol of Dr. Ambedkar for homage and imitation, and Dr. Ambedkar with his independence but without his bitterness, a Dr. Ambedkar who would act so as to be a leader of all India and not Harijans only.

Your affectionately,

Rammanohar Lohia.
