Dear
Sir
With reference to the invitation to the general public to contribute
to the general discussions on a new Constitution for South Africa
I wish to make
the following comments regarding what contributions are coming form the Indian
community. But it is in the cultural
interests of a community that one voices
an appeal for cultural, religious and educational rights to be respected.
In view of this provision should be made for the recognition
of cultural rights
for all communities and that these should be adhered to in every way possible.
I shall be most happy to contribute
to further discussions in the matter, but
this will naturally depend on how best this can be done. Perhaps some response
from the
Constitutional Assembly will help to clarify this.
Thank
you.
Yours -1 faithfully
