Editor, The Michigan Daily: With interest, I have read all the communications published in The Daily, concerning India and criticis- ing my articles. I now come forth to answer those three communications in one and I earnestly hope that you will publish the same in your paper. At the very outset I must say that I have written my articles neither being "prompted by personal bias and mal- ice" against anyone as the Cyprus islander says nor have I "intentionally suppressed numerous relevant facts" as Professor Cross believes. I start- ed my series with pure intention of disseminating first hand knowledge to the people of this University, not be- cause I wanted to carry out a pro- paganda, but because it was my turn to write on my land of birth, just as other's did on theirs. If I had an intention f carrying out such a propaganda against the British I would have done so right at the beginning of the war. But my per- sonal opinions are well known to those on the campus and in the city with whom I have had conferences. And those are not hidden either. On page four, column five of The Mich- igan Daily, Dec. 1, 1915, one of my interviews 'is published under, the heading, "IndiadNot Revolting," and those that would read it undoubtedly know to what side I belong and why. This is not all. Being one of the 315 millions of Indians, who are behind the British to a man in the present world crisis I offered my services in 1914 to the British military medical corps and also to the Red Cross, both through the Canadian and English of- fices. ters of India. Such is their promise and they have kept it to their word. Would Discuss "Suttee" As for "Suttee," I would have writ- ten of it in the article on woman's position. As for the abolition of Jug- gernat Car, I take the liberty of an- nouncing that Mrs. Barbour has made an absolutely false statement in that case. First of all as said the government does not interfere in the religious mat- ters and secondly, I, together with my seven other friends, was a pilgrim to the Car in 1913. Besides this, re- ports about cholera which prevailed during the festival of that Car have been published in the'tri-monthly "In-, dian Medical Research," which can be had in the medical library. Now to answer Mr. Bairam's com- munication. In the whole length and breadth of my articles not a word has been said about the British empire. And still Mr. Bairam says that "un- founded charges against the British empire" are being made in my articles. I have spoken about the British in India and India alone. Empire More Than India The British in India do not form the whole British empire, which is so vast that the sun never sets on it. So, there are no charges and there is no "un- foundation" to it. In the same manner when I speak of England's rule in my articles, I strict- ly stick to India and no other part of the empire. Cyprus, New Zealand, or Egypt are outside of the question, when we discuss the famines in In- dia. The policy that is applicable to one country cannot very well be applied to another in the case of government. Possibly, Cyprus is happy and Egpyt is prosperous, that does not mean that India is not poor under the present British administration.

I admit the government has spent more than 30 or 50 mil- lion dollars 'on famine relief work in every instance where devastation has been wrought. But what is the use? In medical terms, "prevention is bet- ter than cure," is not brought in prac- tice, so, naturally, the famines con- tinue and the money of these famine stricken people is given to them in charity. Why not uproot all the caus- es of famines from the very founda- tion? Do famines occur in other lands? In closing let: me say that the pres- ent deplorable condition in regard to famine, poverty, society, and education will be changed at once if England gives self government to India as her people have demaned and treat that country like Canada, Australia, and other colonies. ' Self government will absorb all the grievances. Books in Library There are many things that I could write to prove that all I said regard- ing the famines is beyond doubt cor- rect but Imust bring out my points in a limited space. Also, I do not like to monopolize the student paper only on the India question. For this purpose, I have just com- pleted an arrangement with the lib- rarian, Mt. Bishop, who very kindly has kept the books on India, which I referred to in my articles, on a sepa- rate shelf near the circulating desk in the main library and those that are interested and wish to find the truth about India should spend at least some time in collecting the facts. , The publication of my remaining ar- ticles will be held until my readers are, convinced of their authenticity.
