Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Political Agitators in India Born about 1848. Educated at Doveton College, Calcutta, from 1856 to 1867. B. A., Calcutta, 1868. Proceeded to England, passed into the Indian Civil Service, and came out to India in 1871. Was posted to Sylhet District. In 1873 he was reported to Government for serious misconduct, the Judges of the High Court holding that he was unfit for the exercise of any judicial powers. A commission was accordingly appointed and 14 charges framed. He was found guilty of "falsehood and of a palpable abuse of his judicial powers" and the Secretary of State directed his removal from the service. (Despatch 31st March 1874.) He was given a compassionate allowance of Rs. 50 a month. Since then he has been an uncompromising opponent of the system of Government under which he failed. He is the father of anti-British agitation in Bengal, especially among the student community with whom he has great influence. He founded the Ripon College, and it was at a meeting held in this college on 17th July 1905 that the boycott movement was inaugurated in Bengal. Has edited for many years the Bengalee newspaper. Has identified himself with the anti-Partition agitation and devotes most of his energy to keeping it alive. A very good speaker in English, with a good voice and a fluent delivery ; but his political writings and speeches, based as they are on personal spite against Government, ring hollow. He shows no more honesty as a public man than he did as a public servant. He is accused by the extremists of want of courage and has long been thrown over by them.
