[Letter to Mr Minoo Masani]

Summary

This one-page letter, written by N. G. Ranga to Minoo Masani on 29 October 1963, congratulates Masani on returning to India after a foreign tour and hopes that the tour helped publicise their political cause among “enlightened circles.” Ranga then discusses preparations for the next convention, including V. P. Menon’s offer to organise a reception in Bangalore and the expected cost of at least Rs. 25,000.

The letter asks Masani to consult V. T. Sreenivasan in Bangalore about the necessary preparations before presenting proposals to the Organisational Sub-Committee. Ranga also notes that “Raja jee” is expected to be in Delhi on 23 and 24 November, suggesting that meetings of the Parliamentary and Organisation Sub-Committees be convened during those dates. A handwritten note beneath the signature appears to read “please refer to NIDUBR…” but its final characters are unclear.
