It is submitted to the Constituent Assembly and to all concerned for considering that in order to have and lay on firm foundation for a strong, durable, one and United Grand India, it is necessary to remove and abolish untouchability that exists in the land by the Iron Rod of Authority. It would not be removed by mere preaching. Times demand its abolition. The Congress is pledged to its removal. The Indian National Army has been and could be reared only on extinguishing untouchability from their midst. It is a doctrine of hatred, and is a cause of split and division among the people. It affords an easy ground for divide and rule. It is repugnant to all true religion and humanity. It is against true social democracy and is a block in the way of one and United India. Its observance is an ungodly act. It has been the cause of India’s downfall and impotency of her teeming millions. It is a reason for continuous future friction and trouble. It connotes superiority and inferiority complex. Thus it creates and keeps alive the burning of hearts. Without abolishing untouchability, one cannot wish or hope to have one and United India, or the Unity of heart. This irreligious religious imperialism must go. The state must not recognize it, where it provides for religious freedom and freedom of conscience to all. The Indian constitution must provide for its abolition to the extent that in free and Independent India there shall be no state or state-recognized provision for say, as Hindu-water and Muslim-water; Or separate Hindu and Muslim vegetable kitchens in any Government or Government-Aided Institutions and Departments. Separate meat kitchens may or shall, however, be provided for, allowed or recognized.
