The author has made a good attempt to analysis the British maneuvers to bring the then kingdom of Kashmir under their influence. It was an open secret that the then British Government wanted to annex Kashmir and that it was a question of time and skilful maneuverings and that he should be inveigled into allowing the first step towards the attainment of that object before he should be permitted to return to his own country. He also told His Highness that he must be careful not to give any excuse for the British authorities to interfere with him, and that, if they did unjustly interfere, he might always rely upon the English Press to defend his rights. If this principle of confiscation be allowed, how many of our noble families are liable to have their vast estate confiscated. He hopes that his countrymen possess a sufficient sense of honour to rise as one man and protest against this shocking iniquity being perpetrated in the name of the British nation.
