Room Conversation — November 4, 1973, Delhi 731104R1-DELHI [27:20 Minutes] Conv_731104R1-DELHI Prabhupāda: But suppose you are different...

Prabhupāda: He is Christian, she is Muhammadan, she is Buddhist. Secular government means government should give protection to the Hindu, to the Muslim, to the Christian, to the Buddhist. But it is the government's duty to see that no one is cheating. [Prabhupāda and guests converse in Hindi] Government's duty to see that people may not become cheated.

[Hindi] Let me speak in English, so that he can follow.

Prabhupāda: Yes. No. [Hindi] Take for example a man is presenting himself as brāhmaṇa, but he's doing something else. That should be stopped.

You are doing the business of a śūdra, why you are claiming as brāhmaṇa? This is government duty.

Guest (1): Now say this person [indistinct].

Guest (1): ...is very touchy about his being śūdra?
