Abstract

More Injustice to India

The article focuses on the book "Slaves of the Gods," by Katherine Mayo. Mayo has again outraged all sense of international courtesy and decency by publishing a second volume, illustrative of her former book, "Mother India," without any apology for the exaggerations and inaccuracies which have been pointed out in her former volume. It is difficult for those who do not know the tension under which India is passing to realize what infinite harm is being done by such gross breathes of racial goodwill and understanding as this book represents. The nerves of India today are raw with insults and humiliations; and there is something cruel in the extreme in thus stabbing and wounding, over and over again, a sensitive people at such a time. Mayo has done nothing whatever, practically and sympathetically, to prove her love for the people whom she wounds.
