BRITISH RULE
PEOPLE IN INDIA DIVIDED HOME RULE NOT PRACTICABLE “I found during my visit to India that the people were praying that the British would never leave the country to the mercy of the Indian rulers. The people know that they would be ill-treated and worse than slaves, whereas under British rule they receive justice and fair play,” commented the Rt. Rev. F. A. Bennett, Bishop of Aotearoa, during an address on his recent visit to India, given in Hamilton last night. Bishop Bennett said the people of India were not united. When one section asked for home rule there were others who did not want it.
The fact that there was no unity placed a bar to any consideration of giving the Indian people home rule, he considered.
