The Calcutta Review October 1908

1908

It is not easy at the time of writing to put the situation in its true perspective but it may fairly be said that the repressive legislation of the previous quarter has had the desired effect of taking the heart out of the propagandists of sedition The protestations of loyalty as a counterpoise to the demonstrations of sedition were numerous and widespread. [...] The prOblem of the immortality of the soul which is the basis of morality mainly depends for its-'solution on a considertion of first the nature of the soul itself ; second the nature of the Supreme Being. [...] I have before said that I care little for hostile criticism and I readily allow that the abuse of the seditious and bought Press of Bengal is the best proof of the rectitude of the person they attack as their praise is in the eyes of honest men the just condemnation of him who deserves it. [...] I can point to the change which has been effected in Central India during mterm of office ; to the public works which cover the country to transit dues everywhere swept away ; to the develoment of Rewah ; the re-organisation of Gwalior the surrender of the Gwalior fortress to the house of Scindia ; the loan of 3o millions sterling by that State to the Government to the great advantage of bot [...] The malice and bad faith of the attacks on the Government Policy in Bhopal are found in the notorious fact that they are instigated by the ex-Nawab Siddik Hossein that many of the libellous journals are in his pay and the documents Nvhich are perverted and misrepresented to support his case ate supplied from the private office of the Bhopal Durban.
