The Bombay Manifesto

In our last issue we published a telegraphic summary of the manifesto on the reforms scheme which has just been issued by a number of Bombay leaders including Sir Dinshaw Wacha and Sir Narayan Ohandavarkar. We have the text of this manifesto, and while there is much in it from which we dissent, there is also much in it with which we are in agreement. Reserving detailed notice for a future issue, we may point out that the manifesto easily divides itself under three heads. Under the first head it enumerates those reforms which have for a long time been insisted upon by the Congress and the League, and which are now either partially or wholly embodied in the official scheme.
