A letter from Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya to Dr. Ambedkar
To
Dr. B.R.Ambedkar, M.P.,
President, All India Scheduled Castes Federation, 26, Alipur Road,
Civil Lines, DELHI
Dear Dr. Ambedkar,
I thank you for your kind letter of 24th September. I read it to-day after my return to Hyderabad and am therefore. wholly unable to reach Delhi in time for the meeting that you have suggested. I would however welcome an opportunity to meet you as early as possible. I would be in the U.P. round the middle of October so that I could see you in Delhi on the 19th or 20th of October. In case you are in Bombay on 29th of October, I could meet you there. Please let me know by wire which of the two dates would suit you.
I was concerned to know about your health from other friends. I hope you are taking all necessary care.
I am also having the three numbers of “Mankind” issued so far sent to you under separate cover. I had half a mind to suggest a subject for you. But I desist from doing so. The three issues of “Mankind” will themselves impel you to the subject of your choice. I only wish to emphasise the utter intellectual collapse that has overtaken our country, I hope only temporarily, and how necessary it is for a man like you to speak unreservedly.
Yours sincerely,
(Ramanohar Lohia).
