96 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
Mahatma to whom they appeal for guidance does not believe in thinking
and can therefore give no guidance which can be said to stand the test of
experience. The intellectual classes to whom the masses look for guidance are
either too dishonest or too indifferent to educate them in the right direction.
We are indeed witnesses to a great tragedy. In the face of this tragedy all
one can do is to lament and say—such be thy Leaders, O! Hindus.

NOTE
The figures quoted in this memorandum have been taken from various books
and pamphlets written by various writers on the subject of reconstituting
Maharashtra on a linguistic basis. I rely upon the writers for their accuracy.
Similarly, the map of Maharashtra attached to this Memorandum need not
be taken as accurate or complete. The idea is merely to give a picture of
how the Province when reconstituted will look like.
