Excerpt from The Indian Musalmans A great public calamity has given most mournful emphasis to these pages. Five days before the first copies reached Calcutta, a Musalman assassin struck down the chief-justice of Bengal under the portico of his own Court. I put forth this Second Edition in the hope that it may produce a reaction equally apart from the popular alarm which has followed that crime, and from the popular apathy which had for years preceded it. To know the real truth about our position in India, seems to me to be the sole safeguard against chronic torpor on the one hand, and sudden panics on the other.
