Prof. M.C. Rajah's Letter To Barrister. M.K. Gandhi (1938).

Prof. M. C. Rajah and  Barrister. M. K. Gandhi

"If we are not free to enter into Hindu Temples, we are No Hindus, and if we are not Hindus why should we be in a joint electorate with them? Is it for swelling their numbers as against Muslims and other communities?"
Prof. M. C. Rajah's letter to Barrister M. K. Gandhi (1938).

"... But he [Prof. M. C. Rajah] has declared himself openly as a bitter opponent of the Poona Pact." (in 1938)
~ Dr. B. R. Ambedkar (1945).

Experience of the Malabar temple entry bill (including the actions of Mr. M. K. Gandhi and the Congress) had updated Perunthalaivar Prof. M. C. Rajah in 1938 to the next level i.e the Scheduled Classes should be a separate minority. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar updated his thought in 1935. As the representatives of the Scheduled Classes of India in the Cripps Mission in 1942, Prof. M. C. Rajah and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar sought an assurance from Sir Stafford Cripps that they should be included in the racial and religious minorities.
