UNTOUCHABLES.

VIEWS ON THE PROPOSED LEGISLATION.

GROWTH OF PUBLIC OPINION.

"The news that a Bill to remove the disabilities under which the In- dian untouchables labour is, likely to be introduced next session into the Indian Legislative Assembly haa naturally created much interest among Indians resident in London. A Manchester Guardian repre- sentative recently had an opport- unity of hearing what a group of young Indinu graduates and stud ents think of the proposal. They could hardly express an opinion on the brief reference to the bill that has been published, and suid that they would like to know the provisions in detail, but they were agreed that a good bill to relieve the unfortunate class known as un touchables from the injustices now done to them would be. welcomed by educated Indians generally, and especially by the younger genera, tion.

"As far as the young Indians are. concerned," one of them said, "they have long been of the opinion that untouchability is a thing of the past, and that all disabilities should be removed. If there is any ob- struction to the bill it will come from the older people."

They did not understand the statement that the bill would re- move the untouchables' disabilities with regard to transport service. They said that in public vehicles they travelled indiscriminately with

India most of the omnibus-drivers were untouchables, and that even the old orthodox Brahmin would

make use of such an omnibus if it suited his convenience, though he would take steps afterwards to purify himself.

The position with regard to the untouchables, it was stated, was rapidly improving because public opinion was changing. Probably without the aid of legislation the dishailities would disappear in twenty or thirty years' time. But it was very desirable to pass legis. lation now because the enlightened public opinion was not yet strong

nough to work the reform.

A young lawyer from Southern Indin said that four municipali ties in his State had passed by laws three years ago giving un Touchables. the freedom of ronds that had hitherto been barred to them, and the right to enter places. of public entertainment. This fact that there had been

trouble since then in carrying out the laws showed that a law could be very +festive.
