No Freedom With Caste

No Fnedom With Caste "This book is written from j a point of view which I appreciate very much. I am myself writing a book in which I have touched many of the points which I find are dealt within the book. The book was therefore a very welcome thing to me." - B.R. Ambedkar. "I am prepared to admit that this is a very remarkable book written courageously and independently. With its analysis of some of the features of the existing situation,, I find myself in agreement. Altogether I welcome the publication of such a book as evidence of the fact that there are some people, at any rate, even now who can think independently and do not merely subscribe to fashionable slogans." - Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru. "The Menace of Hindu imperialism, a fearless examination of nati onal evils, is a penetrating study of all that are, and have always been in the opinion of the author great impediments to the normal growth of the Indian people....Besides having shown the prepotency of Brahma nism in every phase of Hindu sociology a nd polity, the writer deals with how India is kept in chains even now" -Amritc BazaarPatrika.
