!" HE railways of India are the
strongest link in the chain which
i binds it to Great Britain, and at

hged. Said he:
lone of the striking features of this I'M
rest just now is an anti-railroad crusade
carried on by the extremists among the
revolutionary agitators. They claim that
the roads are built with British money
for robbing the natives. They say that
the dividends and interest go out of India
and that the railways are bad thing for
the people, not only in money way, but
on the ground of religion. They are using
this argument to excite the masses, who
can be stirred up only by attacking their
religion and importing their caste. The
extremists say that the railroads are
breaking down caste distinctions, and
that eternal damnation is sure to follow
They advise the people not to patronize
them and say they should be given over
to the native leaders, who could regulate
the traffic to suit their faith"

saying that the railroads are affecting
caste prejudices?' I asked

would not sit down together, and the
Brahmins demanded to flock by them

could not get the cars, and they then
tacitly decided that caste must be abol-
ished while on the railroad trains. So the
native has apparently dropped such pref
