Question

2. The Voice had to be listened to not only on account of its form but for the matter which it delivered It gave a message to
country that it needed greatly. It brought to the common people a realization of their duty to concern themselves with the
fairs. The common people were made to take an interest in the manner in which they were governed, in the taxes they paid in
return they got from those taxes. This interest in public affairs ---politics as you may call it was to be the concert no longer
highly educated few but of the many--the poor, the propertyless, the workingmen in town and country, Politics was not to
the concern of a small aristocracy of intellect or property of the masses. And with the change in the subjects of politics that are
brought about also a change in the objects of politics. Till then politics had busied itself mainly with the machinery of Governo
towards making its personnel more and more native with proposals for a better distribution of political power with protests aga
the sins of omission and of commission of the administration This Voice switched politics on to concern for the needs of the con
mon people. The improvement of the lot of the poor was to be the main concern of politics and the politician The improvement
especially of the lives of the people of the neglected villages, was to be placed before Governments and political organization
as the goal of all political endeavour. The raising of the standard of living of the people of the villages, the finding of subsidian
occupations which would give the agricultural poor work for their enforced leisure during the off season and an addition to the
exiguous income, the improvement of the housing of the poor, the sanitation of the villages - these were to be the objectives
be kept in view. In the towns, the slums and cheries were to receive especial attention. There was especially a class of the poox 5
which that compassionate Voice pleaded and protested. This was for the so-called depressed class, the outcastes of Hindu socker
The denial of elementary human rights to this class of people is considered the greatest blot on Hindu society and history. It raise
itself in passionate protest against the age-old wrongs of this class and forced those that listened to it to endeavour to remove
most outrageous of them like untouchability. It caused a revolution in Hindu religious practice by having Hindu temples thro
open to these people. It made the care of them a religious duty of the Hindus by re-naming them Harjans. Mr Ruthnasare​
