INDIAN GOVERNMENT,”

QUESTIONS OF CASTE.

Giving evidence before the Joint Com mittee of the Lords and Commons, which is considering the Government of India Bill, Sir Harry Stephen, retired judge of the High Court, Calcatta, said be would like to see the government of India left as it is, or practically as it is, while changes in the provincial Governments, which were really the key of the situation, were proceeding. It was desirable while these changes were taking place to bare a strong central Govern- ment. They should go on developing what had already been done, constantly giving a greater share of public employ ant to Indians, and putting Indians. in important positions-chiefy because they were Indians even at the expense of efficiency. Public work should be given to Indian individually and collectively, and it would thus be possible to see the lines on which the political genius of India, which admittedly still remained to be developed, would shape itself. It would also be possible then to allow the political idens of India to develop on Indian lines, and so avoid the mistake. of supposing that because a thing was good for England it must therefore be good for India. He was unxious to see reforms develop on Indian and not neces sarily English lines. When India as a whole began to take political action and to organise herself it would be on the lines of caste. Caste came into every conceivable action, and be did not think the Indian could get it out of his mind,

Lord Sinha: It is your opinion thas responsible government is not suited to India now and will not be suitable wizbra any time we can contemplate?

Witness:

That is so.

And that it is labour lost to lay down steps for the accomplishment of that purpose-I think it is worse than labour lost to try and foreshadow the ultimate form of the government of India Indian hands. But we are English, and is inevitable that we should start it more we are starting this development, and it

Do you make sufficient allowance for England, and for the effect that associa the effect of the association of India with tion has had on the educated Indians in regard to their ideas of the form of government ---Yes,

great difficulty with all Indiana is that they are apt to copy, and it is very diff cult to get the Indian to originate any thing you will excuse me, Lord Sinha: we understand each other-and we get Indians copying English things, without any regard to their own country. They often make the same mistake that we make; we think English things are the best everywhere,

Your idea is that the Legislative Coun cil should be made more representative?

As representative as possible.

It is theoretically possible. ignorant people whom you cannot cop- Here you are dealing with a poor gad pare with European people.

One was not of high caste-Yes, and I understand there was always-difficulty" in regard to his caste..

So far as the profession of law is con- cerned there is nothing in the way of non-Brahmins -No, but there are a good many advantages for Brahming

In reply to Major Ormsby Gore, the witness said that the amount of political talk in India was overwhelming..the amount of thought was not so large. )

Major Ormsby-Gore: You believe that political thought is developing on Wes tera lines think it is copying Wes tern lines. I do not think it is develop ing. I think it is sterile. I should like to see some Indian in authority, produc ing a form of government which is dis- tinetly Indian. "I do not say that. Wer tern methods are necessarily bad for India; it may be, that they are in accord. ance with the genius..of India,

You do not think the native politician. gives expression to the genius of India? |

No.

But we cannot tell if they would be a succes, till we have tried them --I would out Indians into every position which I could. positions of responsibility, and try them in every way. I would certain ly put them in positions of political re- sponsibility. I would make as Indian, Under-Secretary or even Secretary of State:

Questioned by Sir J. Reee, witness said that judgments, thighdthey were, of course, enforced, or so much respected when delivery a judge of low caste,

In reply to Sir H. Craik, witness said that the triumph of British organisation in India would be the establishment of the party system on the best principles Unless India could develop some satisfac tory system of party government she would fail to establish any representativo government. If the bill were to pass he would expect unrest and friction for an indefinite period.

Answering the Earl of Selborne, wit ness objected that the first line of the bill tied India down to responsible | government. Indin, when she realised her genius, might not want responsible governiBoat. She might devise a new and totally different form of government, The further consideration of the bill was adjourned,
