The Calcutta Review an Illustrated Monthly (Third Series) April 1931

1931

If we compare the military and marine charges of the country in the last normal year of the Company's.rule with those in the year of acquisition of the Diwani we find that the increase was more than eight-fold. [...] But a very large part of the icrease has been due to enhancements in the salaries of the members of the higher services granted on the recommendation of the Lee Commission. [...] The deficits in the central budgets have added considerably to the unproductive debt of the country while the blundering currency policy of the Government has caused enormous-losse- to the Indian Exchequer and led to a depletion of the reserves. [...] The net charges under the head Defence ' absorb nearly two-thirds of the net revenue of the Central Government and about one-third of the total revenue of the country. [...] On the eve of the Sepoy Mutiny the proportionate strength of the British force was small; but it was increased after the Mutiny the object being to prevent any further attempt on the part of the people to overthrow British rule.
