Famine Complications in India Highlight Language Barriers
Rev Daniel Keefe, a missionary returning from India, describes the famine as a vast, diverse governance challenge. He warns that 20 languages and varied climates prevent a uniform legal or policy code, with land tenure and taxation differing by region. He notes agitators exploit schooling and famine markets, and contrasts past rulers with present unrest as Britain spends to educate Hindustan.
