In India, Public Service Commissions, the days of foreign imperialism, were the tools of the Governors; today they are at the mercy of many masters; they survive on suffereance. a qualified Indian who can get a post in a foreign country will not stay at home, where, despite his know-howhe has to go from big-wig with hat in hand. By the time he secures something he is disgusted with himself, and longs to go away and wash and wash.
All life is one, as Indians say. A great thought, to be sure; but some life in practice, is more important than another. How easy things are if one happens to the son or son-in-law of a Minister! The neo-Branmins are the Burra Sahibs of our day, and they surpass rulers in the art of dispensing patronage. [next will continue as no. 099]
