Rebels Against Leiters Cause Social Unrest in India
Bomion July, 10 passengers arriving from Simls on the Indian steamer report that a social war has disrupted the season. The mother and sisters of Lady Leiter and the Leiters of Chickage faced social pressure, prompting protests by simian society wives. The viceroy was appealed to as expatriates refuse to meet the Leiters. Ushers claim Indian court etiquette under Curzon’s wife has shifted, with US influence and military displays noted. The court departs Calcutta for March heat, seeking relief from ongoing social tensions as Curzon’s viceregal tenure continues.
