They were Amritsar, Jullundur, Phillour, Gurgaon, in case the gang were moving south; Rawal Pindi and Peshawur, with Multan. "Very great trouble. I wish thou wert a young man and my assistant to help me." "Dost thou need help, my father?" Adam asked curiously, with his head on one side. "Very much." "Leave it all alone. It is bad. Let loose everything." "That must not be.
I am not anti-English; I am not anti-British; I am not anti any Government; but I am anti-untruth anti-humbug and anti-injustice. So long as the Government spells injustice, it may regard me as its enemy, implacable enemy. I had hoped at the Congress at Amritsar I am speaking God's truth before you when I pleaded on bended knees before some of you for co-operation with the Government.
A Hindu merchant of Amritsar, who grew very friendly with a Delhi friend of mine on a voyage from Europe, said just before reaching Bombay: "Well, I shall have to pay for all this when I get home, and I shall be lucky if I get off without making a pilgrimage to all the twelve sacred places of our religion.
I studied very closely the proceedings at Madras, and the proceedings at Amritsar, and in able speeches made in both those places I find a truly political spirit in the right sense of the word in the sense of perspective and proportion which I sometimes wish could be imitated by some of my political friends nearer home.
Did you ever ! And I hear they poured kerosene over the buildings they burnt, and the bodies of those poor men at Amritsar. So now we know why the price ran up and why 'none was coming into the country! Yet they say this isn't another Mutiny, don't tell me! I was so thankful to be getting away; and now I'm terrified to stir. Fancy if it happened to us to-morrow!"
The Government of India realises and no one probably more fully than Lord Reading after his visit to Amritsar that with the Punjab fresh in their memories, even Indian Moderates must require very strong evidence before they give any willing support to the employment of force, even if circumstances arise to make it inevitable for the mere maintenance of public order which no government can allow to be wantonly imperilled.
Amongst others, the incumbent of the Golden Temple at Amritsar, the most sacred of all Sikh shrines, was constrained to make a public confession of his wrongdoings and resign his office into the hands of a Reformers' Committee. Next to Amritsar in wealth and sanctity came Nankhanda Saheb with a Mahunt to whom the Reformers imputed all kinds of enormities.
The great merchants of London, Paris, Vienna, New York and Chicago have buyers there picking up curious articles of native handiwork as well as staples like shawls from Cashmere and rugs and carpets from Amritsar. The finest carpets in India are produced at Amristar, and between 4,000 and 5,000 people are engaged in their manufacture.
It isn't as if she didn't know what these things mean. She was through the Jalo cholera last year." The train stopped at Amritsar, and Scott went back to the ladies' compartment, immediately behind their carriage. William, with a cloth riding-cap on her curls, nodded affably. "Come in and have some tea," she said. "'Best thing in the world for heat-apoplexy."
If it had pushed on here, and to Government House, Amritsar doings would have been thrown into the shade." She shivered. "It's horrible incredible! I suppose one has to be a lifelong Anglo-Indian to realise quite how incredible it feels to us." He put his arms round her, as if to shield her from the memory of it all. "I'll see you to-morrow?" she asked. "Of course. If I can square it.
