Gandhiji
spoke,
“Today I have arrived
here late. However, whether I arrived late or you had waited for me for
long, it’s all right. But God will not wait for you and me. Harijans
must not be treated bad just because they are born of a low cast”.
“God
has allowed us some more time to rectify this discrimination and treat
them with love and respect. Within that time we must carry-out our
obligations. If we do not do so, before we destroy the discrimination
over cast, it will destroy
us.
“Let
the God give us strength to cross the fire trial unscathed.”
In
the meeting Gandhiji requested donation to the Harijan Fund. Audience
moved. Within minutes one girl offered all her ornaments to the great
Leader. This was kaumudi. The Kaumudi incident got national fame and was
aired on Radio.
