ABSTRACT
‘Please. Do me this one great favour, Jones. If ever you hear anyone, when you are back home … speak of the East’, and here his voice plummeted a register, and the tone was full and sad, ‘hold your judgment. If you are told “they are all this” or “they do this” or “their opinions are these”, withhold your judgment until all the facts are upon you. Because that land they call “India” goes by a thousand names and is populated by millions, and if you think you have found two men the same among that multitude, then you are mistaken. It is merely a trick of the moonlight.’
