Abstract

The Results of The War With Afghanistan

July 24, 1879 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the war and invasion in Afghanistan and the rule in India by the British government. There has been one fallacy present in all the discussions about the "scientific frontier" which, obvious as it is, has been uniformly overlooked. It has been assumed that British India constituted a base on which one could rely as securely as upon Great Britain itself. The peace with Afghanistan, if its provisions are acted upon, jeopardizes the very existence of the Indian Empire. It is assumed that the administration of India will continue to be conducted with the extravagance and incapacity which have hitherto characterized it.
