British Raj

From Chartered Company to Empire.

In India,

said Theodore Roosevelt,

we encounter the most colossal example history affords of the successful administration by men of European blood in a thickly populated region in another continent.

It is a greater feat than was performed under the Roman Empire.

Successful administration of the Indian Empire has been one of the most notable and most admirable achievements of the white race during the past two centuries.

Set this statement against the words of Mohandas Gandhi, the holy one who led India in passive resistance to British rule in 1920 through 22.

Historic, too, is a shapa tea, for by its means the message was sent round throughout the length and breadth of British India for the rising against the English rule, known as the Indian Mutiny.

Its true meaning was not at first understood, as we may read in the Indian Correspondence of the Times, dated Bombay, March 3, 1857. from kawapur to allahabad and onwards through the great cities of the north-west the chaukadars or policemen have been of late spreading from village to village at whose command or for what object they themselves it is said are ignorant little plain cakes of wheat and flour the number of cakes and the mode of their transmission is uniform chocador of village a enters village b and addressing its chocador commits to its charge two cakes with directions to have two similar to them prepared and leaving the old in his own village to hie with the new to village c and so on English authorities of the districts through which these edibles passed looked at, handled, and probably tasted them, and finding them, upon the evidence of all their senses, harmless, reported accordingly to the government.

and it appears i think with tolerable clearness that the mysterious mission is not of political but of superstitious origin and is directed simply to the warding off of diseases such as the choleraic visitation of twelve months ago in which point of view it is noteworthy and characteristic and not unworthy to be remembered together with last year's grim and picturesque legend of the horseman who rode down to the river at dead of night and was ferried across announcing that the pestilence was in his train apropos of indian flour colonel meadows taylor in the story of my life tells a story about the adulteration of flour in india during that day my tent was beset by hundreds of pilgrims and travellers crying loudly for justice against the flour sellers who not only gave short weight in flour but adulterated it so distressingly with sand that the cakes made with it were uneatable and had to be thrown away That evening I told some reliable men of my escort to go quietly into the bazaars and each buy flour at a separate shop, being careful to note whose shop it was.

It had been built for the transmit for the 1936 Olympics.

There was a journalist, Gustav Buffinger, who headed up what was called the Orient Office or the radio station.

I have no doubt whatsoever that both England and the town dwellers of India will have to answer if there is a God above for this crime against humanity, which is perhaps unequaled in history.

Colossal achievement or unequaled crime, or perchance both achievement and crime, British rule in India is unquestionably the foremost example of modern imperialism.
