It is a very fair forecast of what would probably have happened if the annual meeting of the India Congeres had been held this year with india in the unrelenting grip of the tyannour administration of Russia. We wonder whether it has ever occurred to the minds of those energetic Babus who stand up in Congress and declaim against British rule, that it would be difficult for them to be transferred to the rule of any other European lower and to find one as fair, as just, and as impartial. We know the retor; this would meet with: "Why should we be under the rule of any European Power?" History provides us with a reply, Because you showed for many hundreds of years prior to British conquest, that you were not capable of ruling yourselves. Granted that in the old days, before the Mohammedan invasion from the Forth, there may have been a United india, for centuries there was nothing avea approximating to such a desirable condition of affairs, until Great Britain took upon herself the task of evolving onder out of chaos, of striving to establish some degree of unity amongst a disunited people.
