Modern Review October 1928

1928

In the classic art of Europe it is always the ripple of the muscle the vivid vitality of the features the dazzling outlook on life that arrest the eye ; here in India art has fixed the tranquillity of repose it has coveyed the majesty of meditation the sublimity of aloofness and withdrawal. [...] The image of the Buddha in its inconceivable calmness and passionlesness is the very embodiment of the immutability of the Law that he preached and the serene consciousness of the final and full attainment of liberty. [...] The whole work of the Committee in India has been from beginning to end conducted in camera and no chance whatever has been given either to the subjects of the States or the people of British India to have their say in the matter of the Inquiry or express their views on any of its aspects and except the movements of the members of the Committee from one State to another and their final departure [...] Now as the Montagu-Chelmsford Report itself pointed out in spite of the varieties and complexities of treaties engagements and Salmis which govern the rights and obligations of the ruling Chiefs there is a general responibility on the part of the Paramount power for the good Government and welfare of the people in the States and if so the attitude of non-intervention in matters of interna [...] In utter disregard of the real requhements of the situation to confine the inquiry of the Committee to the very limited purpose of reporting on the relations between the rulers of the States and the British Goverment shows a lamentable lack of appreciation of the real needs of the country.
