A Nation in Making. Being the Reminiscences of Fifty Years of Public Life

1925

The present spirit of opposition and intolerance observable among some of our people was urlt-snown ; and reverence for the head and the elders of the family was the resounding note of the Hindu household."MY BOYHOO1' AND EARLY DAYS 3 My earliest recollections go back to the d'ays when as a boy of five years I was sent to a Awthsala (indigenous school) to learn Bengalee. [...] the result of the examination` an advertAerient (supposed to be the work of an Indian) appeared in the newspapers to the effect that if the fifty-first candidate (he was the first among the unsuccessful candidates) would comunica*Ze with a person whose address was given he would hear something to his advantage. [...] Mellish had no difficulty in obtr'ining a favourable hearing and the folluvving resume of the proceedings in Court will explain the attitude of the judges in r.e.:gard to the merits of the case : Mr.... [...] Thereforthe applicant was entitled to a mandamus to compel the Commissioners to hear and consider his evidence and adjudicate or determine upon it as to the actual truth of the matter of fact in dispute.16 A NATION IN MAKING The rule was granted but the Civil Service Commissioners did not wait to contest-it. [...] was a conflict between the claims of the Service and those of the nation they preferred the latter and exalted the interests of the motherland above the sectional cocerns of the class to which they belonged.
