ABSTRACT
After making this rapid survey of the fundamental conditions of the problem, with Sir John Seeley as our guide, it is necessary now to examine the whole position and groundwork afresh from a different angle. The chapters which follow will partly cover the ground which Seeley surveyed with such wonderful prescience. But while he only considered the foreign aspect of the British rule, as leading to internal weak ness in India, what follows will deal rather with the relation between the two races, the Indian and the British, and the race friction that has been engendered. It will be seen from this new survey, when it is com pleted, that political relations between the two countries have here, also, come to such a pass and produced such a vicious circle of evil that the sooner the tension is relaxed and freedom from political domination is established the better.
