A reformist caste-Hindu group rescinded Ambedkar’s invitation solely because of his views

Evidence

This correspondence will disclose the reasons which have led to the cancellation by the Mandal of my appointment as president, and the reader will be in a position to lay the blame where it ought properly to belong. This is I believe the first time when the appointment of a president is cancelled by the reception committee because it does not approve of the views of the president. — Ambedkar, B R, Annihilation of Caste_ The Annotated…, 791

• QUESTION: What specific views prompted the Mandal’s cancellation? The full correspondence presumably follows in subsequent material.
