Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from India: A Nation; A Plea for Self-Government The purpose of a Foreword is twofold. It may introduce to the public either the author or the subject. Mrs. Annie Besant is known to the English world as an untiring public worker, as the associate of Charles Bradlaugh, and as the head of various important movements and a protagonist in the struggle for the extension of women´s rights. To the public of India she is even more familiar. Apart from her religious activities, she has laboured long and hard in the educational field, and her name will be imperishably linked with the Central Hindu College, Benares, the Hindu University to be. In the region of social amelioration and the uplifting of the backward classes she has worked no less earnestly, and it would be impertinent or anyone to introduce her to the public. It is the conviction all over India that in her political activities tending towards the betterment of Indian conditions she will be no less successful in her organisation of forces than she has been in other departments. These few lines have been written by one who can claim to be only an exponent of the average opinion of the younger generation of educated Indians, who though they may not profess any religious allegiance to the author yet feel that in her India has one of her truest friends, and warmest advocates. This book is intended primarily as an appeal to the British Democracy. Notwithstanding the efforts made by a gallant band of men in Parliament and out of it, the ignorance of the average Englishman concerning Indian conditions and feelings is appalling, and it may easily be gauged from a study of any current periodical or magazine dealing with Indian topics. The war has, undoubtedly, brought in a new point of view. Amidst its ghastly train of evils, there has been created a sense of solidarity and fellow-feeling amongst all the component parts of the British Empire which is of most happy augury. The Englishman is beginning to feel that the Indian is not aloof nor unconcerned with his troubles, but is willing to shoulder the burdens of the Empire and is also fit to be trusted with the responsibilities of it.
