India after the war

THE Englishman of Calcutta has devoted an article to the consideration of the position of India after the war. No one, we believe, is yet certain when the war will be over and it is hardly necessary to anticipate the future not yet within sight. But the position of India after the war has been the subject of some speculation by imaginative minds in England. Naturally Indians also are much interested in it and it is noteworthy that our Calcutta contemporary refers to possibilities that no one else has taken the trouble to think about. When the Indian soldiers return from Europe, they will bring with them many experiences of European life and ideals which will effect radical changes in social practices and aims. For one thing the caste system will be undermined and greater sympathy between Europeans and Indians will prevail.
