UNREST IN INDIA.
England Facing Another Period OF
Trial with A.iatic Colony.

England Facing Another Period OF
Trial with A.iatic Colony.
Special Correspondents to the London Telegraph.
The unrest, or rather the symptoms OF
unrest which are now becoming tncreas-
ingly manifold in India, writes cores
pondent, are being watched by the Gov
eminent of India with the greatest care.
Little doubt Is felt by those who are well
informed at any moment the more so
since much of the agitation which is now
being carried on with regard to quite
variety of problems Is being most care
fully engineered" This Is particularly
the case with resp to the agitation
against the treatment of Indians in South
Africa, very real grievance, which has
long been felt with Increasing bitterness.
and which. as 1t appeals to Hindus and
Moslems alike, lends itself admirably to
propaganda purposes
Coupled with this. which is for the
moment to take the main place in the
popular expression Of midas grievances
there Is, of course. the agitation over
the operation of the press law, when
throws the onus Of establishing the con-
trary on editors Of papers charged with
sedition; there Is the somewhat excited
opinion among the Moslems fosterec
during the Turkish troubles, and ex-
plotted Dy Ine riOlS at SdWupOic ONSi
the alleged demolition for public purposes
Of portion of a mosque: there are, final
ly, a number of minor political demands
now being put forward by Hindus or by
Moslems. or by both. The situation. IN
short. Is such that in those influencing
opinion in Indian may at any moment
deem II useful to force matters to ex-
tremes.
Nor has it escaped general notice that
there Is still a steady number OF minor
criminal outrages OF a political nature.
The record of political murders grows
weekly, while the system of sending ex-
plosive letters Is apparently on the m
crease.
1t may be very well questioned whetner'
apart from the South African issue, the
Indians Of any race or religion nave
any serious grievance. but there Is SO
much irresponsibility among sections OF
the leaders. so strong q desire to exploit
that even those who know
India well are not too treasured as 10 the
likely course of immediate happenings
1t Is, at any rate. certain that the aglta--
ton in India is going to be carried
good deal further and 1t Is always pos
sibls that some of those championing u
NAV have no objection-h IL is worth
while. to securing the glory Of some sort
Of martyrdom. In situation such as the
present more depends upon knowledge
Of the Indian government than upcn the
policy Of the Indian odicA
