Abstract
I come now to the main subject on which I wish to address you. That is The National Congress and the demands which that body makes of Government…. Think for a moment what would be the result if all appointments were given by competitive examination…. There would remain no part of the country in which we should see at the tables of justice and authority any face except those of Bengalis….
Syed Ahmed Khan, The Present State of Indian Politics, 1888, pp. 7–21.
