We do not know how to leave India, and therefore let us see if we know how to govern it.
If I were going to remain Indian Secretary for some time to come, my every effort would be devoted to an abatement of that enormous amount of writing.
Could ministers justify abandonment, without far stronger evidence than they then possessed that they could not govern the Transvaal peaceably?
But as I read it, as I listen to serious Indian experts with large experience, it all sounds estrangement and alienation even though it be no worse than superficial.
