en It is commonly said that ridicule is the best test of truth; for that it will not stick where it is not just. I deny it.

en My religious conversion is not inspired by any material motive. This is hardly anything I cannot achieve even while remaining an Untouchable. There is no other feeling than that of a spiritual feeling underlying my religious conversion. Hinduism does not appeal to my conscience. My self-respect cannot assimilate Hinduism. In your case change of religion is imperative for worldly as well as spiritual ends. Do not care for the opinion of those who foolishly ridicule the idea of conversion for material ends. Why should you live under the fold of that religion which has deprived you of honor, money, food and shelter?

en To ridicule philosophy is really to philosophize
  Blaise Pascal

en Ridicule is the best test of truth
  Lord Chesterfield

en Whatever he does, Dick will do it his own way, because whatever he does, it will be the subject of ridicule.
