India-
(Continued from page one)
actually he has unrestricted veto
power over any act of the legis-
lature. Also reaerved for him are
the defoaae of India, foreign af-
fairs and ecclesiastical affairs re-
garding which the British Govern-
ment is moat broadminded.
The preaent Vicery is a Scotch-
man, Victor Alexander John Hope,
the Most Honourable, the Marguess
of Linlithgow; but it ia also of in-
terest at the present time to know
that Lord Halifax, who came to
Washington only a few weeks ago
as British Ambassador to the
United Statea to succeed the late
Lord Lothian, was a former Vice-
roy of India. His title while serv-
ing as Viceroy was Lord Irwin;
however, since his father, who was
then Lord Halifax, still lived.
The remaining two-fifths of In-
dia is composed of the native
states, Princely India, there being
more than 560 of these states
which vary considerably in sise and
importance. Less than one-quarter
of the total Indian population is
found in Princely India; and since
the States are not a part of Brit-
ish India, they have their own
government, armies, courts, prime
ministers or Dewans, political and
financial advisers (a considerable
number being British), coinage,
railways, police and postage.
In the majority of these states
the ruling princes have almost un-
limited authority, not only exert-
ing life and death powers over
their subjects, but also having the
entire state revenue at their com-
mand and disposal.
Hyderabad State, of which the
ruler is known as His Exalted
Highness the Nizam of Hydera
bad, is about the size of Kansas,
and has a population of about
15,000,000. It is one of the first
ranking states, and H. E. H., the
Nizam, is one of the world's rich-
est men. Hhis jewelry collection
alone has a value of about two
billion dollars.
Since the outbreak of the prea-
ent war, he, along with many oth
er of the princes, has contributed
freely to the British War Effort,
and on one occasion I recall that
he donated a squadron of fighter
planes that was named by the
British in his honor.
Strangely enough the Nixam is
a distinguished Mohammedan or
Moslem while approvimately nine-
ty per cent of his people are Hin-
dus.
Among other rich, progressive,
and well-ruled'states are Mysore,
Kashmir, Travnncore and Baroda;
but some of the Maharajas rule
over small «tates which are only
a few square miles in area, have
a population of a few hundred, and
yield revenues of less than fifty
dollars a year. Bilbari is one of
the smaller, poorer states.
Of the 350,000,000 people in
India, roughly, two-thirds of them
are Hindus snd the remaining
third are Mohammedans or Mos-
lems. There are, however, a fair
number of Sichs, who live primari-
ly in the Punjab, and a number of
Hinduiam or Brahmanism as it
ia sometimes called, is difficult to
describe because of the many so*
within it. In the Hindu faith, how
ever, Brahma is the Creator and
the holy scripture is the Gita. A
number of supplementary gods,
goddesses and idols are worshipped
in the religion; and Brahma, the
Creator, is believed to live con-
currently as himself, as Vishnu,
the Preserver, and Siva, the De-
stroyer. Hindus believe in rebirth
and destroy the bodies of their dead
by cremation. They revere the cow
today as in ages past because the
cow furnishes food (milk of poor
quality snd curd) and fuel (cow
dung cakes are used throughout
India for fuel), and serves as a
draught animal making agricul-
ture possible.
No one in Hindu India msy kill
a cow, snd when cattle die, their
bodies in most instances are
burnt. As a result, they cannot be
turned into useful by products
such as leather and bone fertiliser.
Further since the dung is nor-
mally used for fuel, only a small
amount can be ustilised as fertilis-
er for improving the soil.
Many holy cows, however, are
poorly fed and cared for, and as
a result, the hungry beasts roam
the countryside eating crops and
even helping themselves to morsels
from the booths in the vegetable
markets. They are frequent sights
on the main streets of even the
larger cities, and it is not an un-
common experience to have to
walk around a holy cow that has
chosen a particularly shady spot
on one of the downtown sidewalks
to lie down and chew her cud. In
addition to the cow some parts of
Hindu India regard the monkey,
the peacock, the pigeon and even
the rat as being holy and may not
be killed though all eat a con
siderable amount and destroy an
even greater amount of grain and
other foodstuffs.
