Ambedkar’s anti-Hindu section doomed his address even before it was delivered

Evidence

Ambedkar’s insistence on including in his address a detailed section on the destruction of the Hindu religion signalled the likelihood of failure if the Mandal insisted on trying to win him over to the cause of religious reform. At the same time, members of the Mandal’s welcome committee were threatened with a black-flag protest if Ambedkar were to preside over the meeting, and this made Sant Ram unsure of endearing Ambedkar to the cause. — Ambedkar, B R, Annihilation of Caste_ The Annotated…, 807
