ABSTRACT
Ranjit had never sought the limelight; absorbed in his books, manuscripts and music, he was content to leave this dubious asset to his wife and brother-in-law. Financial provision for the education of the two older girls had been officially secured at the time they left India because their parents were in prison, and Lecky had further help as the first holder of the Mei Ling Soong Scholarship established at Wellesley by Madame Chiang Kai-Shek for an Asian student. Vijaya Lakshmi decided to remain in America until the spring, for her time until Christmas was solidly booked with lectures in the South and Middle West, and after a January tour of the East she had promised to return to the Pacific Coast. The elections to the Central Assembly showed an overwhelming success for Congress, with 91 per cent of the votes in the general constituencies, while every Muslin constituency was won by Mr Jinnah’s organization, the Muslim League.
