>From - Los Angeles Herald February 03, 1907, Page 7, BRITISH MISRULE IN INDIA SEVERELY ARRAIGNED BY PUNDIT CHARGES FAMINE TO ENGLISH EXTRAVAGANCE Member of Universal Peace Union Has Harsh Words for the Way King Edward's Hindoo Subjects Are Treated Pundit Dr. N. Krishna of Bombay, India, member of the universal peace union, arrived in Los Angeles a few days ago. His mission to America is, he says, to study the growth of the country in its political, economical and sociological conditions. He contemplates writing a book on each of the subjects. Dr. Krishna also has the ambition to tell the American people something about the situation in his own land, particularly relating to British rule in India. He has spent nineteen months in America, and will remain a few months longer. He has visited about thirty states. The pundit told the story of India's troubles in a quick, soft voice and in excellent English, but with an idiom that bespoke his nationality. "The only chance of the people of the United States to hear about the orient is through the missionaries who are sent there to tell our people how benighted they are," said the pundit. "These men and women are not constructive as to idea or character; on the contrary they are positively destructive. The so-called Christ characters and the beauty of Christ love is not shown. Hence they are unwelcome in India.
