INDIA AND "THE STICK
An Englishman's Views on Affairs British

An Englishman's Views Affairs British
in Hindostan.
If there is one thing that hurts the
tender feelings of those who meddle
with things Indian more than another
it is to be reminded that what we reps
resent in India is 1.-The stick
From Travancore to Hunza, with very
trifling exceptions, we got it by tho
stick, and from luna to Travancore
we must keep it by the stick. And as
may be seen in this remarkable in
stance, it is for the exercise of the stick
that the very natives themselves look
to us. They-that is to say, the Hindu
part of them, and part of that part
only-may congress and conference and
write leading articles and cram for
government posts and cultivate taste
| for representative institutions. But
| when it comes to the pinch, it is they
who cry to us to come and protect them
from the adversaries they would be so
glad to rule, who actually complain
| that we do not come soon enough to
| their protection.
Nor are COW protection societies, and
things of that kind, to be overlooked
and sneered at. We know by unfor-
tunate experience, that it is quite pos
sible for Hindus and Mohammedans to
be at each others throats one moment
and at ours the next And it is equally
indisputa BILE that nothing but our pres
ence prevents them from being chron-
ically in the first state, and that it is
impossible to strengthen our rule too
mnch, in order to prevent disaster to
them as we'll as to ourselves.
| Every one who knows the facts, who
is capable of drawing differences from
them, and who has the courage and
honesty to look his own differences in
the face, knows that we are, and al
ways must be, nothing in India but q
garrison, an army of occupation.
We cannot teach the natives of India
to govern themselves, for if they had
been capable of that they would long
ago have been governing us. But we
can give them perfect freedom, in every
sense in which freedom is not mere
term of cant and gable; we can SEQ
fair play between them. we can offer
careers Of reasonable brilliancy to their
most promising representatives, and
we can be good lord to good man"
not the least reasonable and not the
least noble, on both sides of possible
relations between human beings.
