HINDU PAPER DECLARES
BRITISH RULE TOTTERS
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9.—Brit
ish rule in India is in grave peril ac
cording to a statement made yester
day by Ram Chandra, editor of the
Hindustan Qadar, of San Francisco,
whose organ was attacked in a recent
interview given a correspondent of
the Associated Press in Simla, India,
by Sir Michael O’Dwyer, lieutenant
governor of the Punjab, Sir Michael
said the people of India had no sym
pathy with revolutionary deeds and
charged that "Hindu agitators in
California and Canada were respon
sible for the trouble.”
In his reply to Sir Michael, Ram
Chandra declared the "revolt is as
widespread as it is indigenous and it
has not been hatched by the handful
of Hindus who have come out of their
country in search of an education or
a meagre living.”
Chandra declared the object of the
British government in "spreading
such misinformation is two-fold:
First, to bring them into trouble with
the authorities in America and to
make the civilized world believe that
political unrest in India has been
manufactured artificially by a few
Hindus who have lived abroad."
He asserted the revolt was a “nat
ural reaction on the part of the peo
ple of India against unbearable tyr
anny of the British government.”
