Annihilation of Caste’s 1937 second edition sold out quickly and stayed in public demand.
Evidence
The second edition of this essay appeared in 1937, and was exhausted within a very short period. A new edition has been in demand for a long time. It was my intention to recast the essay so as to incorporate into it another essay of mine called “Castes in India: Their Mechanism, Genesis and Development,” which appeared in the issue of the Indian Antiquary journal for May 1917.f But as I could not find time, and as there is very little prospect of my being able to do so, and as the demand for it from the public is very insistent, I am content to let this be a mere reprint of the second edition. — Ambedkar, B R, Annihilation of Caste_ The Annotated…, 755
