RIGHTS OF INDIANS.
CONTEMPTUOUS ATTITUDE RESENTED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Sydney, December 20. Sir Dorab Tata, who stated the other day that the Bombay municipality had decided to boycott everything Australian on account of the “white Australia” policy, in an interview, resented the attitude of a section of Australians towards Indians. He declared the people of India were part' and parcel of the British Empire. They threw themselves unreservedly into the great war, neither man nor money being epared. Why, then, should they be treated as aliens, and worse than aliens, in parts of the Empire they sought to save? He meant by worse than aliens that a foreigner, even an enemy foreigner, could come to! Australia and in a few years seek naturalisation, whereas Indians were denied the franchise. It must not be forgotten that it was not the west that civilised the east, but vice versa. India had an advanced civilisation when the people of Britain were going about painted with woad. The contemptuous attitude of the west towards the east was calculated to inspire a sensitive people like the Indians with resentment.
