BANDE MATARAM

Early Political Writings. 1890 — May 1908

Darkness in “Light”

We regret to find our contemporary Light surpassing the most moderate of the moderatists in the timidity of its aspirations. “What the most ambitious of Indians have dared to hope for is that a day may come, may be a century hence, when in the domestic affairs of their country they will enjoy some measure of freedom from autocratic control.” Here is an inspiring ideal indeed! Hail, Holy Light! thou art indeed a fit candle to illumine a somnolent constitutionalist's repose!
