Excerpt from New India: Or India in TransitionMY object in writing this book is to draw atten tion to the great changes which are taking place in India - changes political, social, and religious - and to the spirit which, in my judg ment, should inspire our policy in relation to them.The political situation demands decisive treat ment. The conditions of our occupation combine to show increased difficulties in administration a waning enthusiasm on the part of English officials, occasioned by a livelier consciousness of the drawbacks of Indian life, and a greater friction between the governors and the governed, attributable to many causes, but especially to the arrogance in thought and language of the ruling race, which has been brought out into stronger relief by the extension of education and the growth of independence and patriotic feeling among the people. Able and energetic Indians, enlightened and educated by ourselves.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
