...areas will bring pressure upon the British Government to grant India her independence, he, Gandhi, will move to end India's present "boycott" of British cloth and goods. Mr. Gandhi proposed more. Without mentioning Japan or the U.S., he let it be known that he favors a reciprocal Anglo-Indian agreement under which India's surplus needs (over and above what she can produce herself) would be supplied exclusively by Britain-this agreement to be, of course, in return for complete Indian independence. "Tear His Eyes Out!" St. Gandhi had set out for Lancashire to drive a bargain...
...young subaltern, a few years out of Harrow, joins the colonial army on New Year's Eve, 1905. The book, then, is a chronicle of the experiences of an Anglo-Indian Army officer over a period of years. Put in that way, nothing could seem more tedious and dull.

Standing together, Laborites and Liberals could, of course, outvote the Conservatives in the House of Commons, could cut the Gordian knot of India-wisely or unwisely...
...Author. The Sassoons, rich, prominent Anglo-Jewish family (they are supposed to have originated in Bagdad) are said to resemble early Assyrian wall sculptures. Siegfried, 44, is son of Sir Edward Sassoon, Anglo-Indian merchant whose father-in-law was Baron Gustave de Rothschild. Siegfried's cousin Philip was Under-Secretary for Air. Tall, bony, loosely built, he has a big jaw, nose, ears, hands; speaks usually in a slow, troubled voice. After his country gentleman's education at Marlborough and The House (Christ Church, Oxford), he spent his time mostly hunting, playing cricket, tennis, music, printed a few poems...
