Confining myself to this aspect only, I will only submit that I know that there are certain parts of India in which, as the words imply, the rule of the law is being established only now and in regard to those cases, I have fixed the limit of ten years. Otherwise in Bombay, Madras and U. P. and certain other parts of the provinces even now this reform can be implemented. Therefore I have given the period of three years in regard to parts mentioned in Part I and ultimately five years, and seven years and ten years to other States mentioned in Part II. My humble submission is if we do- not accept even this amendment then it means 209-E will forever remain a pious wish as it will be a Directive Principle. There is no point in having this prospect dangling before our eyes as will-o-the wisp which is never to be implemented. When we passed the Directive Principles I remember there was a row in the House-some people wanted it to be immediately effective and others said that the time is not ripe. Therefore to have a golden mean between the two I am suggesting these stages and this period. I would be very happy if Dr. Ambedkar accepted this amendment of mine.
