Hinduism rests on exclusionary principles. So, conversion was very intimate to his thought. In a speech delivered to the Bombay Presidency Mahar Conference in 1936, he brought out the two aspects of conversion—material as well as spiritual.2 The weapons of boycott and exclusion perpetuated by the caste-Hindus on the Untouchables amounted to class-struggle. Denials of varied economic and social activities actually pitted one class against another. He felt that it could be put to successful use as long as the oppressed class failed to stand up with strength against the tyranny.
