Opportunity for Indians.



A Calcutta paper invites attention to the fact that two-thirds of the police officers in that city belong to the European and Anglo-Indian communities, and that of 117 Sergeants in the Calcutta police, 66 were Europeans and the rest Anglo-Indians. So not a single Indian is entertained in this class of service. And the paper rightly asks whether the authorities have treated the Indians fairly in this matter and whether it is not right that equal opportunities should be given to the sons of the soil in all departments of service. The Public Services Commission was expected to do justice to similar complaints in all the departments, but its report is said to be disappointing. The people of India have no reasonable opportunities to get into the higher ranks of public service and every defect of the kind pointed ought to open the eyes of the people in England to the necessity of Home rule in India.
