Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Essays on Indian Topics The essays which are reprinted in this book are offered the public, not as forming a compilation of any intrinsic value, but as contributing to the discussion of current political topics. Indian questions will bear being looked at from a good many points of view. One point of view is that of the Member of Parliament at Westminster; another is that of the Anglo-Indian official; another, that of the Anglicised Native of the Presidency Towns; and another, that of the thorough-going old-fashioned Oriental. The standpoint of the writer of these amoteur essays is that of an unofficial Englishman, whose work and whose tastes bring him into frequent contact with Oriental society. He speaks as one who prefers living in India to living in Anglo-India, but whose sympathies with the wild theories of doctrinaire politicians are much affected by the fact that he has a throat that may be cut. In this respect, as an Anglo-Indian, he stands at a disadvantage with English theorists on Indian politics. For he can hardly hope to attain to the impartiality and serenity of the English Indo-politician, who, sitting in his comfortable arm-chair, can draw up paper constitutions for India, unbiassed by the dread lest his wife and children should be butchered, or the labours of his life for the improvement of the people around him, his town or his country, should be swept into nothingness by an overwhelming deluge.
