Brown, Iv. Norman | February 3, 1932 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Rebel India" by the author H.N. Brailsford. The foundation of rebellion in India is in Brailsford's view economic discontent. In vigorous style Brailsford sketches the evidence of this discontent among peasants and industrial workers. The desperate living conditions of the lower nine-tenths of India's three hundred and fifty millions are indeed beyond description. Caught in an inescapable tangle of overbreeding and undernourishment, with the miseries of life rarely alleviated by medicine, hygiene, or education, the peasants are in a state that would rouse a more vigorous people to bloody revolt.
