The article discusses about the failure of British rule in India. The English civilians have treated India as a corpus vile delivered over to them for purposes of experimental legislation. A rapid succession of rulers has resulted in a rapid succession of experiments. Each new governor has, as it were, pulled up the legislative saplings Planted by his predecessor, examined their roots, pronounced them to be without vital sap, and on the clearance thus effected begun planting his own, to meet a few years afterwards the same fate. The absence of all continuous purpose or fixed principles in our administration of India has been a main cause of its present unhappy condition.
