Ambedkar’s undelivered 1936 presidential address prepared for the Jat-Pat-Todak Mandal, Lahore. The epigraph of the Out-Caste Doctrine — “The Caste System is not merely a division of labour. It is also a division of labourers.” — is verbatim from Section 4 of this text, verified character-for-character against the Columbia digitized edition (receipt-gate, 2026-07-17). Trust tier: primary.
