Why not go Further Back?



NOR finally is another fact to be overlooked. It has hitherto been generally believed that what is called the revolutionary movement in India had its origin in 1905, the year of the Partition of Bengal. The Committee goes as far back as 1893 to find the first indication of the movement, on the single ground, so far as one gathers from the summary, that in that year certain isolated crimes were perpetrated. At this rate we fail to see why they should not have taken us as far back as the Mutiny or even earlier, and included the assassination of Lard Mayo and all other tragic incidents in India's chequered history in one master plot?
