English attitude to Indians-The " b o y s" of others may go to the dogs, perish or be degraded for wh at he cares.

In connexion  w i t h 
India generally, the Englishman  ( w i th some noble exceptions) 
deteriorates  f r om a  lover of  l i b e r ty  to a lover of despotism, 
w i t h o ut the slightest regard as to  h ow the Indians are affected and 
bled. He suddenly becomes a superior, infallible being, and 
demands that wh at he does is  r i g h t, and should never be quest ioned.  ( M r . Gladstone  t r u ly called the  " a rgument and  l aw of 
for c e" as the  l aw and argument of the present  A n g l o - I n d i an 
rule.)  " O ur boys" is his interest. The  " b o y s" of others may go 
to the dogs, perish or be degraded for wh at he cares.
