The significant social fact is not the income of some ancient Mogul or some modern Rajah estimated in lakhs of rupees, but the five or six cents a day which is a laborer's wage for millions and millions of the people. For these reasons I have been no more interested in the famous cities I have seen than in the little rural villages whose names may have never found place in an English book.
"So that, if I like," concluded my grandfather, hammering out his words, "I can leave every doit I die possessed of to the Great Magunn?" meaning probably the Great Mogul. "No doubt of it," replied Gregg, with a shadow of a smile. "Ye hear that, Aadam?" asked my grandfather. "I may be allowed to say I had no need to hear it," said my uncle. "Very well," says my grandfather.
In like manner, throughout that part of India which was permanently subdued and organized by the Mogul dynasty, and also those parts in which minor Islamitic states were established, the organization of the courts of justice, and the legal opinions of the individuals who officiated in them, necessarily introduced a large amount of Mahometan jurisprudence.
It soon became apparent that there was little danger from the Great Mogul; moreover, the Portuguese and Dutch were out of the race. So the native princes and the French and English were left to fight among themselves for the supremacy.
The empire of the Great Mogul, whose capital was Delhi, was tottering from decay. It had been, in the sixteenth century, the most powerful empire in the world. The magnificence of his palaces astonished even Europeans accustomed to the splendor of Paris and Versailles. His viceroys ruled over provinces larger and richer than either France or England.
"Why not switch back with the mogul after the logtrain has been hauled out on the main line?" Bryce demanded pointedly. Pennington, however, was not trapped. "My dear fellow," he replied patronizingly, "quite impossible, I assure you. That old trestle across the creek, my boy it hasn't been looked at for years. While I'd send the light switch-engine over it and have no fears "
In India she had no further rivals among European nations, and gradually extended her influence over the whole region south of the Himalayas. In 1877 Queen Victoria was proclaimed Empress of India as the successor of the Grand Mogul. She had, however, been able to increase her territory by the addition of Lorraine and, in 1768, of the island of Corsica.
When the Great Mogul showed his splendour to a travelling dervise, who expressed his little admiration of it "Shall you not often be thinking of me in future?" said the monarch. "Perhaps I might," replied the religieux, "if I were not always thinking upon God."
He took care of Bulwant Sing, the great Rajah of Benares, who had taken our part in the war. He secured him from the revenge of Sujah ul Dowlah. The Mogul had granted us the superiority over Bulwant Sing. Lord Clive reëstablished him in a secure, easy independency. He confirmed him, under the British guaranty, in the rich principality which he held.
Though the confinement of women be an unlawful exertion of superior power, yet it affords a proof that the inhabitants of the East are advanced some degrees farther in civilization than mere savages, who have hardly any love and consequently as little jealousy. This confinement is not very rigid in the empire of the Mogul. It is, perhaps, less so in China, and in Japan hardly exists.
