E.V. Ramasamy's letter to Jinnah
My dear Jinnah, I have been watching carefully the proceedings Mr Rajagopalacghariar’s formula towards solving the dead-lock and your desire to receive Mr Gandhi ar your residence in Bombay on your > return which will probably be about the middle of August. It is welcomed in political circles. Though I have no full hope, there are signs of change as our opponents have come forward to settle the Hindu-Muslim questions, especially in relation to Cripps’ offer. I need not say that the Congressites are experts in twisting words, and to give occult sense. They can > say anything and give meaning in whatever manner they think. Though we do not depend upon them, you > know very well that we should be vigilant and careful in the negotiations. It is clear that general election with Muslims and Hindus as well as Aryans and Dravidians will give > hardship to both of us. Kindly excuse me for reminding you about our discussions relating to Pakistan and Dravidasthan while we were at Madras and Delhi and your assurance that you would plead for both as one.
