ABSTRACT
The problem has now to be faced in all the colonies where Indians have settled down, after indenture has been ended, whether it is best for them to remain bound up politically as well as spiritually with their mother country, India, or whether they should "cut the painter" and start out on their voyage alone. Should they look at all times to India for their support, or should they launch out boldly into the politics of the new country where their children were born, calling that their motherland and thinking in those new terms; while remembering India only as a distant dream?
