They judge an English Viceroy from a purely Indian point of view ; it is natural that he should hardly satisfy them. In the case of Lord Curzon, who is thoroughly English and Imperialist to boot, it is very natural that they should not be satisfied with him at all. The Englishman and Indian are so much at variance in their standards and their standpoints. An Indian cannot be expected to feel much for the Empire on which an Englishman sets so much store and for which his fathers have in days gon...e by suffered so much. Even the so-called " Little Englander " who affects to belittle the Empire feels at heart for it and would resent the slightest injury to it meditated by others. In spite of the cant that is being talked by some on the subject, the truth must be recognised and looked full in the face by Indians that England governs India as part of the British Empire first for herself and then for the Indians. Nothing in contemporary politics does so much harm as the blinking of this fact by Indians and the consequent confusion of points of view.
