Our Opponents and Ourselves



ONE has only to go through the leaderette of the Pioneer to see that one of the two things on which our opponents are building their hope is the possible presence of a number of deputations in England on behalf of India holding conflicting views. “The Congress, the Home rulers, and the moderate party,” writes the journal, “are all looking forward to sending delegates and it seems probable that independent supporters of the reforms will proceed to England.” The glee at the prospect of our cause being injured by this division in our camp is scarcely concealed in the concluding sentence. “In any event,” it runs, “it looks as though the whole question of Indian constitutional changes will be thrashed out again by the Parliamentary Committee with the aid afforded by the evidence of witnesses holding widely divergent opinions.” It is for us to make up our minds whether we are going to afford further food for this sort of merriment in our opponents’ camp.
