Awakening of India

Awakening of India.—A despatch from London, under date of February 15, speaks of an immense mass meeting of Hindus held in London to protest against the treatment of their fellow countrymen in the Transvaal. Several of the speakers intimate that trouble is coming in India, that India is rapidly marching toward revolution. A breakdown of British arms or any other indication of weakening of British authority would bring the bureaucratic rule of England in India to the ground. And the despatch continues that Britain is alarmed. One of the movements in India is to boycott all British-made cotton and hardware. That of course would greatly affect British commerce. One of the greatest grievances of the Indian peoples is the over-taxation.
