He dedicated Gulamgiri to the American movement to free slaves, he linked the conditions of the black slaves in USA with those of the lower castes in India. has himself hinted at the significance of in the introduction: “… it is very essential for human beings to be free. When man is free, he can clearly convey his thoughts to people through writing or speech..."

1st June

In the year 1935, Dr was appointed principal of the Government Law College in & continued in that position for two years. Seven yrs before on 21st June 1928, was appointed as a Professor at the same College.

31st May

in 1936, Dr addressed the Mumbai Elaka Mahar Parishad (Bombay Mahar Society), during a meeting at Naigaum (Dadar), in Bombay. He speaks in Marathi, to his own people, with vividness and poignancy: "What Path to Salvation ?".

In his speech said, "Conversion is not a game of children. It is not a subject of entertainment. It deals with how to make man's life successful. Just as a boatman has to make all necessary preparations before he starts for voyage, so also we have to make preparations. Unless I get an idea as to how many persons are willing to leave the Hindu fold, I cannot start preparations for conversion. For a common man this subject of conversion is very important but also very difficult to understand.

Speaking on Caste Struggle he said, "There are two aspects of conversion; social as well as religious; material as well as spiritual. Whatever may be the aspect, or line of thinking, it is necessary to understand the beginning, the nature of Untouchability & how it is practiced.

Without this understanding, you will not be able to realize the real meaning underlying my declaration of conversion. In order to have a clear understanding of untouchability and its practice in real life, I want you to recall the stories of the atrocities perpetrated against you. But very few of you might have realized as to why all this happens! What is at the root cause of their tyranny? To me it is very necessary, that we understand it. This is not a feud between rival men. The problem of untouchability is a matter of class struggle.

It is the struggle between caste Hindus and the Untouchables. That is not a matter of doing injustice against one man. This is a matter of injustice being done by one class against another. This "class struggle" has a relation with the social status.This struggle indicates, how one class should keep its relation with another class. This struggle starts as soon as you start claiming equal treatment with others. Speaking on "conversion not for slave Said, "The reason for their anger is very simple. Your behaving on par with them insults them. The untouchability is not a short or temporary feature; it is a permanent one..."To put it straight, it can be said that the struggle between the Hindus and the Untouchables is a permanent phenomena. It is eternal, because the religion which has placed you at the lowest level of the society is itself eternal, according to the belief of the Hindu caste people.

No change, according to time & circumstances is possible. You are at the lowest rung of the ladder today. You shall remain lowest forever. This means the struggle between Hindus & Untouchables shall continue forever. How will you survive through this struggle is the main question. And unless you think over it, there is no way out. Those who desire to live in obedience to the dictates of the Hindus, those who wish to remain their slaves, they do not need to think over this problem. But those who wish to live a life of self-respect & equality should think. How should we survive through this struggle? For me, it is not difficult to answer this question. Those who have assembled here will have to agree that in any struggle one who holds strength becomes the victor. One, who has no strength, need not expect success.

This was the launch of the era of his political prominence.

Remembering the epitome of sacrifice, Mother on her death anniversary. , is one of those women who silently stood resolute in rendering support to the architect of our Constitution, while she was a symbol of humility, resilience & compassion.
