The Riots in Bombay

The awakening of India's masses is now an established fact, and events in that country are taking a serious turn. The recent carnival of blood and fire in the city of Bombay, lurid accounts of which were dutifully cabled by British news agencies to the U.S., was the most sanguinary and significant occurrence in many years. With 116 killed and 700 wounded the Bombay riots take a place in Indian history with the massacre of Amritsar. Though propagandists have sought to describe these riots as motivated by religious and communal animosities, even a cursory survey of the events of the preceding year will be enough to furnish the true explanation of the unfortunate mob violence which has taken place.
