A. NATESAN & CO. MADRAS NOTE During a long and eventful career extend~ ing over a period of nearly half a century the Hon'ble ,Sir Dinshaw Edulji Wacha has been taking an active and strenuous interest in the public life of this country in all Jts varied activitiea .. As a member of the Bombay Corporation, of the Mill Owners' Association and of the Bombay Improvement Trust, as the Secretary of the Bombay Presidency Associ· ation, as a leading Congressman, .as a constant contributor to the press, and latterly. as an elected non-official member of the Imperial Legislative Council, Sir Dinshaw, "a marvel of untiring energy, a living· encyclopredia of experience and facts" has spoken and written on a variety of subjects covering a wide field political, educational, industrial, commercial, and financial. His numerous speeches and writings besides serving as ari interesting account and criticism of nearly fifty years of British Indian administration form also a valuable record· of the various public mqve~ menta of his time, ,.. .. 2 · Sir Dinshaw Edulji Wacha is one of the very few public men of India who have made a life-long study of economic problems and it is hoped that his speeches and writings, now collected for the first time under one cover, will be appreciated not only by those who have specialised in such subjects but by lay readers as well.

" 01 course, when there is a difference of opinion, how can we agree to all the propositions urged bu a Hindu Congress." So we were not unfrequently told by the Government. But tl~S Hindus and Muhammadans are amalgamated, There is unanimity of tl&ought, spuch and mind between both communities. Governn1e11t now trot out 'ths question of Brahmins and non. Brahmins. That is lhe usual way with the bursaucracy, atid there i1 nothing parti,. cular about it. I understand it to be intelligent enough, But what if there ar~ Brahmins and non- Brahmins 1 There i.t ti~S Charter Act which lays down cle4rly that ' proved merit and ability ' shall be the only qualifications for the public service. One ma11 be a Brahmin, or Mn• Brahmin, or an Australian, or 11 CaMdian, or a Negro or. a Hottentot, tuhat of 1/&at 1 So far as the Service ia concerned toe are to htJve the best men for ths India11 Government. There ,is nothing further to be said about it. • • • Wily then should we have any more difficulty hers with Br11hmin prepondsrance or Muhammadan preponder ance or Parsi preponderance or any other? The Charter Act is clear on IIIB point; it saya ' tnen of proved merit and o.bi· lily' only shall be employed in the public service. Then it ia laid down that the" shalL be no 'governing caste' in 1ndi4. Wher11 is the governing caste? The governing caste is the Civil Service; they are the governing caste, o.tul yet tl11 Brahmin is denounced, 1 ctlnllol at all, Sir, undt!rsto.nd tlul.t argument. p. 484. The Civil Service llaa its traditions, and those traditioru ar1, that they must be beqruathed from gmerati,)n to gener,ltion. Thers is nothing new thatjrom titllll to time these tradition• are trotted out. It haa gone on (or the last '/5 flears.
