COMMUNAL HATRED
HINDUS AND MOHAMMEDANS EFFICIENT BRITISH RULE (Per United Press Association) WELLINGTON, July 1. “ After having lived in India for some 14 years one was greatly impressed by the magnificent work that has been dona for India by Government officials,” said the Rev. J. L. Gray, missionary of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand in the Punjab (India), who is visiting Wellington on furlough. “ The problems facin'; the Government in the future are difficult and diverse. There is first of all the communal hatred which undoubtedly exists between the Hindu and the Mohammedan population. There are approximately 215,000,000 Hindus of various castes and some 70,000,000 Mohammedans, These two communities are divided religiously, racially and culturally, and there is no doubt that were it not for the strong hand of British rule the outbreaks of bloodshed between these two communities would be almost unthinkable. Even Gandhi’s efforts have been quite unsuccessful in bringing them together.”
