Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Indian Year-Book for 1862: A Review of Social, Intellectual, and Religious Progress in India and Ceylon The following compilation, it must be confessed, very inadequately fulfils the hopes held out by the title page. While some details are given of the leading events of the year, much of the work is taken up with the consideration of important public questions which have been agitated during the period under review. Though the course pursued may be unsatisiactory to persons merely in search of general information about India; it is hoped that it will meet with the approval of those for whom the volume is chiefly intended - philanthropists desirous of doing what lies in their power for the benefit of our Eastern Empire. Apart from Missions, to which, for reasons given in the body of the work, insufficient space has been devoted, it will be seen that three principal topics are discussed, viz., the Civil Service, the Land Question, and National Education. While the volume was passing through the press, intelligence was received that Babu Satendro Nath Tagore, a Native of Bengal, had been a successful competitor for admission into the Indian Civil Service. Mr. S. Laing observed, "There is no right-minded Englishman who would not be delighted to hear that any prize open to fair competition had been won by a Hindoo." All honor be to the first of a long line of men, some of whom, it is hoped, will rank with the Thomasons, Outrams, Lawrences, Montgomerys, Freres, and other distinguished names in the Indian Service. At the last competition even Africans entered the lists. To mould such a heterogeneous mass into a good class of Public Servants, the compiler is more and more convinced of the necessity of the course of training proposed after the first examination. Facts have already proved that there is no sufficient guarantee for the qualifications of the men admitted under the present system. A years study at one of the Universities, after passing the first test, is quite inadequate. The subject is of vast importance. If the Officers of Government are men of the right stamp, every reform will follow in due course; whereas the best system will prove almost inoperative, if badly administered. Considerable space has been given to the Rent Question in Bengal. The attention of the compiler was powerfully drawn to the subject, by visits to the principal Indigo District and conversations with Ryots and others interested.
