“Every great interest, every section of British
subjects can bring pressure to bear on the Indian
. Govemment-except only the people of India. The
British Cabinet can press its demand through the
Secretary of State for India, who is a member of that
cabinet.‘ British manufacturers can use their votes
and work through their representatives in the House
of Commons to demand and obtain concessions.
And military men have an influence in the Viceroy’:
Council which never ceases to operate. By an irony
of fate the only section which has no representation,
no voice, no influence in the Indian administration
is the people of India.”
India is not only responsible for expeditions
along its frontiers, but has been forced to foot
the bill for a whole series of wars on the
flimsiest pretexts. She was taxed for the
Abyssinian, Chinese and Soudan campaigns,
in which she had as much interest as Switzer-
land, and has to bear the expense of an
inflated garrison to a greater extent even than
Ireland. At the present time Lord Kitchener
calmly announces that the strength of the
army is to be doubled, and the half-starved
Indian peasant pays the piper while the well-
fed British imperialist calls the tune. This
article began with a quotation from Burke,
and it may fitly close with another from the
same speech, which proves how little India
has changed since the days of Hastings, for
now as then “there is nothing before the eyes
of the natives but an endless, hopeless pros-
pect of new flights of birds of prey and of
passage, with appetites continually renewing
for a food that is continually wasting.”
