"ealized what a nation of self-
and tyrants I belong to. AsI

n the press, I feel there is no
alternative but for me to gol

my natonality. I read in al

he British policy of govern-
n India has been attacked by
astapha Syed, who decides that
forms Act of 1919 is a miser-
ilure, atnd he' states that the

quality with the ruling caste. An In-
dian was not allowed in the same

mount from his horse when passing.
an Englishman, and he lowered- his
umbrella out of respect. The govern-
nient of the country was zelously re-
stricted to the English, and the In-
dian had no control pf affairs. But,
on the other hand, there was some
justification for this. We stepped in-
to a country distraught with intern-
al disorder; any invader from the
north could destroy aid pillage the
countryside without fear of concert-
ed resistance from the inhabitants.-
The history of India prior to the ad-
vent of the English shows a series of'
invasions, raids by the peoples of one
province against another, rapid ris-
es to power of native despots, and
equally rapid declines from power.
In fact, India as a country was but
a name, and the people by virtue of
their numerous religions and castes
were unable to defend themselves.
Vast Improvements Introduced
What a different state of affairs now
prevails, or I must qualify this state-
ment, how great has been the de-
velopment of the country from the
point eel view of western civilization.

It is the' failure of the native to
show the necessary qualities for suc-
cessful government that preyents thej
English adopting any but gradual re-1
forms into the existing system. The
Indians are, as a mass, une(lucated
and thus they are easily swayed by
the inflammatory speeches of unscrup-
plous agitators, who realize the un-
controllable power of the mob. Var-
'ious acts have been passed, as men-
tioned in Mr. Syed's article, to con-
trol this type of agitation and which
cannot be repealed -and at the same
time maintain law and order. Legit-
imate free speech has always been
the slogan of the English, and in
their anxiety to allow the native self-
expression, the -government 'permnit-
ted agitation to reach undesirable
limits, which resulted in violence,
such as the Amritsar rising in 1919,
the Moplah rebellion of 1921, the dis-
turbances in Bombay, Madras, and
Calcutta during the Prince of Wales'
visit in 1921-22. The government was
compelled to take action, and they
arrested, the leading agitators, includ-
ing Gandhi, the Ali brothers, and Li-
la Rajput Rai.
The most significant fact to be'
gathered from these riots, beyond the
primitive passions betrayed by the
mobs in murdering isolated and un-
protected English subjects and by the
wholesale destruction of property,
was the hatred of the Hindus and
Mohammedans for one another. This
was particularly evident in the Mop-
lah rebellion when the Moplahs, who
are Mohamedans, raose up to cast off
English rule, but most of their viol-
ence was directed against the Hin-
dus and their property, in some cases
violating the sanctity of their temples.
There was some attempt by the agi-
tators to conceal these atrocities by
saying that the English had fabricated
the reports.
Enmity of Hindus and Mohamedans
The failure of the Hindus and Mo-
hamedans to combine has been tak-
en advantage of by the English gov-
ernment in deciding the composition
of Indian regiments. In the major-.
ity of these regiments both classes
are equally represented, and any at-
tempts to 'raise' dissesnion have been
counter-acted by the ill-feeling exist-
ing between the Hindusand Mohame-
dans I can give numerous cases of
this emly but laek of space pre-

vents a full treatment of the sub-
ject, and I will close with a few ex-
tracts from a report in the Londoni
Times of July 12 on a meeting of the
Legislative Assembly in India, a body
which corresponds with the House of
Rdpresentatives in America. The oc-
casion was the struggle of a number
of the Indian members to obtain the
release of the agitators who had been
stirring up the violent elements of
the Indian populace.
"The debate was remarkable for
another extraordinary mentality of
the minority-, who pressed for the re-
lease of men -avowedly hostile and
contemptuous of the Assembly and
pledged to wreck it.
"Mahatma Gandhi by his' policy of
non-cooperation advocated the des-
truction of all that went to make
modern India, such as' the abolition
of railways, schools, and courts.
"There are great fears of an out-
break during the next two weeks
between the Hindus and Mohamedans
in the Punpab."

to Indians. The civil service and the
medical service were the first to re-,
ceive Indians into their. ranks, and
'this was done some years prior to the
war. At present Indians are under
trial to ascertain their ability to serve'
on the same footing with the English
officers in the army and certain regi-
ments have been selected to which
all Indians are sent, so that in the
course of time there will be only In-
dian officers in them, and a definite
comparison can be made between the
efficiency of the various units, anid al-
so with' the regiments officered by
Englishmen. This step was only tak-
en during the past year, and a col-
lege was recently opened at Dehra
Dun for the training of Indian ca-
dets. The Indianization of the gov-
ernment is being carried out gradual-
ly, and as the native demonstrates
his' capabilities of taking over the
control of his own country so is he
given increasing powers.
