Ambedkar held firm to his right to publish his work. An argument began on whether the Society should publish the speech in Lahore or by Ambedkar in Bombay during the completion of the final draft. He eventually agreed to explain in detail how it is impossible to break caste without annihilating religious notions undergirding the caste system.Īmbedkar prepared the first draft and sent it to the Society for approval. The Society sent a delegation to Ambedkar in Bombay. Ambedkar initially turned them down because even liberal Hindus often opposed his views. The Society composed of Dalits and Caste Hindus working to end caste first invited Ambedkar on December 12, 1935. The Society wanted Ambedkar to lead the 1936 Conference in Lahore. The Annihilation of Caste was originally written as a speech for the Society of the Abolition of Caste (Jat-Pat-Todak).
