Ambedkar wrote a letter to Savarkar.

In the 12 April 1929 issue of Bahishkrit Bharat, B. R. Ambedkar initially opposed the construction of the Patit Pavan Temple, ratnagiri.

He believed such separate temples would eventually be known as temples only for the “untouchables.”

From November 1930 to March 1931, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar wrote articles in Kesari.

In these writings, he opposed untouchability, but did not reject the chaturvarna system.
Ambedkar was aware of these views.

On 18 February 1933, Babasaheb Ambedkar wrote a letter to Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, appreciating his efforts to eradicate untouchability.

Ambedkar thanked Savarkar for inviting him to a temple event in Ratnagiri.

He said he could not attend because of his busy schedule.

He said the chaturvarna system must be destroyed for real equality.

Ambedkar called the idea unnecessary and harmful.

He called Savarkar’s continued use of the term “unfortunate” and hoped he would abandon it.
