IN SIMILAR REVOLTS
Dhan Gopal Mukerji. Hindu Brah.
min, Delivers Lecture.

India and Ireland were declared
to be in the same revolutionary
class by Dhan Gopal Mukerji, Hindu
Brahmin. in a lecture delivered in
the small ballroom of the Willard
last night.
These two conquered races" said
Mukerji. saw the time when the
world was on fire as the opportune
moment to strike for redress of
their wrongs.
England has brought India one
great thing, the idea Of popular rule
by the vote" The lecturer stated
that the popular enthusiasm in In
dia for the world war was the re-
suit OF a line of thinking which be-
lieved that in helping England to
keep her treaty with Belgium, India
would obligate England to give
autonomy to her huge Asiatic do
minion.
The lecturer said statistics show
that 40 per cent of the Indian reve-
nue. went into the upkeep of the
army and navy. in which no Hindu
holds a high place.
The people of India, he said, be-
lieve there has been more famine in
their country during as years of
British rule than in the 500 preced-
ing years.
Lastly" said Mukerji. The Rus
sian revolution has brought a tre-
mendous unrest and dissatisfaction
in India. Tremendous forces are at
work. India must be given at least
an approximation of self-govern-
ment that will gradually lead TO
complete autonomy"
Mukerji dealt with the artistic
history of India. which saw the rise
and fall of two civilizations before
the Christian era.
He described the wonderful han
diwork of ancient Hindus, notably
the two thousand-year-old pillar OF
copper and iron which stands in the
market place Of Delhi.
According to Mukerji, the coming
of the Mohammedan religion into
India was co-incident with the de-
terioration Of the country.
when a country reaches a GER
tain pitch of civilization, barbar-
ians usually come and conquer it,"
he said. "Barbarians are now try
ing to conquer France"
