Indian Home Rule Movement.



THE "Home Rule for India" movement started in Madras is, we know, not due to the work of any political leader of India but the result of the desire of every thinking and educated Indian. The war has created situations which have justified the demand for self-governing powers to a nation whose share in the Empire's burdens is so well recognised by responsible politicians in England. But we are surprised to find the opposition of certain critics who consider it a "campaign" started by Mrs. Besant, to obtain India's support to the Theosophical movement. This view is expressed by the Calcutta correspondent of a Bombay paper; and he warns Indians that Mrs. Besant's "campaign" is the most injudicious and that she is regarded as a "faddist" by the British public and as such her advocacy of the cause would create more prejudice than support. It is necessary to note that we are starting no "campaign" which is a word that applies to British party methods of "fighting."
