TABLE OF CONTENTS
|
"My object in writing the present volume is not
only to tell my Sudra brethren how they have been duped by
the Brahmin, but also to open the eyes of Government
to that pernicious system of high class education
which has hitherto been so persistently followed and
which statesmen like Sir George Campbell the present
Lieutenant Governor of Bengal, with broad and universal
sympathies, are finding to be highly mischievous and
pernicious to the interests of Government. I sincerely
hope that 'Government will ere long see the error of
their ways, trust less to writers of men who look
through high class spectacles and take the glory into
their own hands of emancipating my Sudra brethren from
the trammels of bondage which the Brahmins have woven
round them like the coils of a serpent, It is no less
the duty of such of my Sudra brethren as have received
any education to place before Government the true
state of their fellow men and endeavour to the end best
of their power to emancipate themselves from Brahmin
thraldom. Let there be school for the Sudras in every
village; but away with all brahmin school-masters!
The Sudras are the life and sinews of the country, and
it is to them alone and not to tide them over their
difficulties, financial as well as political."
