The Asiatic Review. July 1937

1937

The department produced over eighty films concerned mainly with the work of the beneficent departments of films designed to show the people what the Government was doing for them—such films as The Desert Awakes which dealt with the Canal Colonies of the Punjab the reclamation of the desert round Montgomery the Lloyd Dam in Sind; how ten million people were going to be put on the land and deser [...] The conquest of Sind by Sir Charles Napier in 1843 and the annexation of the Punjab in 1849 by advancing the British administrative boundary across the Indus made it cterminous with the territories of the independent Pathan and Baluch tribes of the North-West Frontier; brought the British into closer contact with the Amir of Afghanistan or as he was termed in those days the Amir of Kabul; [...] Indeed he truly described himself as the husband of the Queen the tutor of the royal children the private secretary of the Sovereign and her permanent minister." The real personal influence of the Queen therefore dates from 1861 for from this time onwards if the editors have not garbled or judiciously pruned her letters we notice the growth of a more independent attitude. [...]. Parliaments and Ministers pass but she abides in lifelong duty; and she is to them as the oak in the forest is to the annual harvest in the field." THE PROCLAMATION OF 1858 The assumption of direct government by the Crown after the Mutiny was the occasion for a Royal Proclamation since it was realized that something more than an Act of Parliament was required to make the new Constitution [...] May the publication of her Proclamation be the beginning of a new era and may it draw a veil over the sad and bloody past !" THE QUEEN AND THE SERVICES One of the most important questions after the Mutiny was the reorganization of the military forces in India.
