of the British government of India.

torturous administrative system.

and atrocity unleashed by the police and government
agencies on the common man.
They brought to light the short comings of the welfare
measures adopted by the British in India.
They drew the attention of the government to the
significance of general education, to the need for higher
education and for the making medical facilities
accessible and to the necessity of development in the
fields of industry and agriculture.
