I am sure you will agree that in provinces, in border areas, there are bound to be linguistic minorities and they are apt to b[unclear] suppressed by way of denying them rights enjoyed by the majority community, in regard to education, services, trade etc. This is what happened and is happening in an attenuated degree in Bihar in the case of Bengalee minority; this is what has been happening since Orissa came into existence as a separate province in the case of the large Andhra minority, living in a contiguous area. The treatment meted to us is on a par with the treatment meted to Indians in South Africa. Should this be allowed to happen to Indians in India in the name of provincial autonomy.
