Excerpt from Truths About India: Being a Reprint of Leaflets Issued by the East India Association From 1909 to 1913 Britons who deliberately slander their fellow-countrymen in India are no better than cowards, for they select as the objects of their unscrupulous attacks those who have no opportunity of defending themselves. All public men in this country are from time to time exposed to bitter calumny; that is one of the evil fruits of our so-called progress. They are, however, always surrounded by partisans, as numerous as their opponents, who defend them with vigour, so that in the end both sides can cry quits. But British public servants in India have no such advantage, and every attack which is made upon them, however gross and unfair it may be, undermines their prestige and increases the difficulty of their difficult task.
