the Sharah is so stringent with regard to wine we can well imagine what its orders are with regard to other property. At the present moment we have a quarrel with British Bureaucracy and with no one else in India. Under such conditions the honour and property of all, be they Muslims, Hindus, Parisis, Jews or Christians should be safe in our hands. We should remain firm to our religious commands. I fear that if such disturbances are not prevented in future, the minorities will no longer have faith in the Indian democracy and they will be forced to rely on a foreigner for their defence. Then it will be very difficult for us to attain our object. At the same time, I request these minorities not to be deceived by this interested help of the Bureaucracy. They should bear in mind the deplorable results which may arise by a too heated desire of retaliation and should, therefore, bring themselves under control.
