OUR INDIAN EMPIRE,

( Continued.)

Having thus surveyed the administrative m chinery of| Even a city (

British Lodia, the question next ar sos, what has been done by use forthe sosial and moral condition o! the people? Our revenue-system, while benefitting ourselves, has greatly bene- fitted our Indian subjects, compared with the tyranny and corruption of the native princes; but many social benefits and. triumphs. of. civilisation have been accomplished by the Company and _ its officers, at uo little expense to the former, and personal risk and hardship to the latter, the history of which as recorded fn the graphic pages of Dr. Kaye's work, the world will not willingly let die.

No people in the world exhibit so many exceptional de- |

eelopments of haman nature as the races of India. The most impressible of races, ideas and views of life take root amongst them, such as would find no acceptance elsewhere. Supple and pliant in their bodily frame, they are equally so in their mental and moral constitution ; and upon no other race has the force of circumstances, or the contagion of ex- ample, so potent an influence in determining them towards good or evil. “ We had been nearly two centuries connected with them,” says Dr. Kaye, “ by ties at least of commerce, before we knew very much more about the natives of Andis | than that they were a race of black people, with bare legs, | carrying the greater amount of their apparel piled up on the top of their heads.” And when at length the scales fell from | our eyes, no littleastonishment awaited us. The awakening | hardly dates farther back than a quarter of a century ago. |

| the agents of their own civilisation. First Dixon went amongst them without any Europe --2 local battalion was raised from the people the at once furnishing sapport for the authorities, and reducing Ito discipline and giving employment to men to whom we had become a habit. But the plough was the chief civiliser. Tanks were dug, wells were sunk, the jungles were cleared, a was secured to the fields.

and a regular supply of water ) held Samual nevudadait) rose at Dixon's bidding with ae ‘rapidity of magic, Ln three months from the laying wal he first stone, its spacious bazaar was opened for trafhie ; and in 'a short time two thousand families had flocked in from the trading towns of the adjoining provinces, and engaged in those manufacturing and cominercial operations which were waiting to complete the well-being of Mairwara. 3

| ‘Phe civilisation of the Bheel tribes is another work worthy lof lasting commemoration. Candeish, western India, was the seene of this achievement. The Bheel tribes constituted about an eighth of the population. When the country was ‘n a settled and flourishing state, these people had been | principally employed as village watchmen—a class nowhere ‘in India of unexceptionable character. ven at their best they appear to have been a lawless and unscrupulous people ; but | when the convulsions and misery of the country began, they ‘formed themselves into robber-gangs, and became tbe Ish- | maelites of that part of the world, At times massacred by ‘hundreds, at times triamphing over the Guicowar's troops sent against them—reckless and migratory, passing from place to place, throwing up a cluster of rude buts in the course of a few hours, and delighting not in more permanent habitations—they would stream down from their mountain- homes, sacking and firing the villages in the plains, driving off the cattle, and securing the “ head-men ” for the sake of the ransoms they would fetch; so they existed. It is not surprising, therefore, that when the country first passed into

le wus the revelation of the hideous crime of Thuggee that) our hands, but a few measures for the reclamation of these first feirly let in the light upon us. In 1810, we find an) tribes were tried without success. It was reserved for James order issaed by the commander-in-chief, cautioning the Sepoys | Outram—an officer who has since won for himself one of the about to proceed. on leave to their homes, against a“ de- | most distinguished reputations in India, and who is now scription of murderers denominated Thugs ;” but it was not doing for Oude what Thomason has done for the North-west until twenty years afterwards that the secrets of the horrible} Provinces, and Lawrence for the Punjab—then a lieutenant fraternity became known, and active measures were adopted | in the Bombay Native Infantry, to. give successful effect to for its suppression. Then it was that thestartling fact flashed | the philanthropic measures of the Government, Under his upon the Indian Government, that there was a regular class jable management, a local battalion, the Bheel Corps, long of its subjects to whom murder was a profession, and not despaired of as impracticable, at length began to take form. only a_ profession, but also a religion; and that a great) Outram brought his wild recruits into familiar contact with brotherhood of crime, hating taken @ sacrament with all | the high-caste Sepoys of his own regiment, and the conciliatory possible solemnity, weat about the country murdering in cold} manners of the old soldiers went far to rivet the confiderice bloodless style, by strangling, in remote places, unwary tra-| which the bold frank manner of their young leader had vellers whom they could seduce into their toils. All this| already engendered. The work of civilisation then weut on was done with the most consummate art and profound secrecy ;| rapidly. A careful surveillance of the people, preservation the members assumed disguises, and played parts, with the} of the peace, and administration of justice, were inagurated ; greatest address; they had also a secret dialect of their own, | their old profession of village watchmen was opened to the and secret signs by which they silently communicated with| Bheels, and liberal encouragement was given to them to each other. These gangs had no permanent form; the | settle and devote themselves to agricultural pursuits. So members assembled fora murdering expedition, and dispersed, | great was the success which attended these efforts, that in vanished, when it. was over. They belonged, for the most| 1843 it was offivially reported that “ the districts formerly part, to particular villages, where they left their wives and| the scene of every outrage, where neither life nor property children ; and they outwardly followed some peaceful calling. | was secure, now enjoyed tranquility; the roads formerly The real cause of their ogeasional absences was often a matter | hazardous for the armed paty, were traversed at all hours by of open notoriety ; but they did not murder their neighbours, | single passengers; the formidable list of crimes had dwindled indeed, the village benefitted by the blood-money that was down to a few paltry thefts; and the Bheels, from outcasts, brought home ; the Zemindar, or head-man, was paid a tribute | had become members of society, daily rising in respectability

or bush-money, and the police officials were likewise bribed into silence, * I and my fathers have been Thugs for twenty generations,” said one of these professional stranglers; aud they even believed that their patron goddess Davee had sent | judgments and death upon all the native princes who had persecuted them. But in the Company they encountered a more redoubtable foe. Captured Thugs were got to turn approvers ;/the whole secrets of the eraft were divulged ; the laws were relaxed so as to meet the difficulties of the ease; the gangs were hunted down in all directions ; our jails were filled with Thugs: and a great and horrid institation which had existed for centuries was broken up in a few years. Davee was vanquishe]l. ‘ The Company’s = fortune is such,”’ said the discomfited murderers, ‘ that

‘fore the sound of your drums, sorcerers, witches, and | demons take flight; and how can Thuggee stand?” An) covasional traveller may still at intervals be strangled by the wayside ; bat the system is destroyed—the profession ruined —-the guild scattered, never again to be associated into a great corporate body.

Another crime peculiar to India, though less so than Thuggee, was Dakoitee, or systematic gang-robbery. The externals of this crime early forced themselves upon the notice of our Indian administrators, but it was not till recently discovered that Dakoitee was the normal condition of whole tribes born and bred to the profession,—that there were robber castes in India just as there were soldier-castes. or writer-castes, and that men went out to prey upon the property of their fellows—and, if need be, on their lives— with strict religious observance of sacraments and sacrifice. Not that all Dakoitee was of this hereditary character ; there were also lay members, as it were, of the profession, who troubled themselves little about presiding goddesses, and set about their work ia a less scientific style; but these all ral- lied round men of the hereditary castes as leaders, and believed they could accomplish little without their agency. Like the Thugs, the Dakoits all have settled abodes, and ostensibly follow a peaceful calling, although the object of their frequent journeys is no secret to the rest of the villagers, Indeed, the headman of the village and the police share the spoil with the successful robbers; and the former even supplies them with food and clothing in time of need, and makes monied advances to them. It was not till 4843 that special and vigorous measures were taken for the suppression of this wides pread evil. Colonel Sleeman, who had succeeded so well against the Thugs, was appointed to the task, and accomplished a great dea! of good. He and | his associates struck at the robber-castes, which are now well nigh extinguished. The hereditary feature peculiar to India has been destroyed, but Dakoitee, or ordinary gang- robbery, is not suppressed. In Bengal, as we have said, the crime has appeared in great virulence; and probably nothing will suffice to put an end to it as long as the con- dition of the peasantry in certain districts is not improved.

The history of British conquest in the Kast has eerteinly a bright side. In its chapters will be found recorded the exploits of men striving and toiling under the fiery skies of the Tropics, and sacrificing often life itself in their efforts to

and apperrance, and becoming useful and obedient servants of the State.” Since then, education has been made to lend its aid in the work of improvement. Tue schoolmaster has taken the young Bheel in hand, and has brought him within the pale of civilised life ; and there is now no fear of a relapse.

Such is the beneficent work of reclamation which the Indian Government pursues in the more barbarous districts submitted to its sway. Its mode of dealing with larger territories long subjected to anarchy or native misrule, —how it establishes in them a reign of order and justice, and how diligently it sets about developing the agricultural resources of the country, thereby furnishing employment for the formerly predatory population,—we have fully shown in a recent Number, by reference to the Punjab and the other provinces annexed during Lord Dalhousie’s rule.* It remains for us to notice briefly some cruel and horrible customs and rites prevalent among the natives of India, which our Government has succeeded in either wholly or partially suppressing.

India is the great land of inconsistencies. Nowhere, among certain classes of the population, is life, in all its manifestations, more venerated and cared for; yet nowhere, in the mass, is it less regarded,—and that not from any sanguinary disposition, but simply from an indifference to its value, Suttee, or widow-burving, is one of those cruel rites of which we need not speak—the subject being so familiar to the British public. Yet what a striking spectacle was it, —how indicative of the strange people we had found in India, and of the gulf that separated our sympathies from theirs—to see “a young woman—one, in our eyes, perhaps little more than a child—ascend with heavenly composure the funeral pile of her husband, and with =n unaltered coun- tenance, resign herself to acruel death. You saw her calmly and gracefully performing the last offices due to the dead, and the last courtesies to the living; serenely decorating her person as for a bridal, and in an unbroken voice repeating the formulas of prayer dictated by the unpitying priests ; then walking with steady tread round the pyre, mounting it without a shudder of fear, and perishing without a murmur.”t The belief was that the spirits of those heroines, thus purged from sin, ceased from their transmigrations, and rejoined their husbands in Paradise without further probation. The practice of Suttee was never universal throughout India : it prevailed most in Bengal and Hindostan Proper, yet even there it was not general. ‘The Court of Directors, as usual, were formost in desiring the suppression of this horrible rite,—the Indian Government hesitating for some time to interfere so greatly with the religious ideas of the natives. ‘Thus supported at home, however, Lord William Beatinck, with high moral courage, issued a decree which banished the rite from the British territories; and such, since then, has been the zeal and tact of Colonel Ludlow and other of our officers at the native Courts, that an instance of Suttee is now almost unkown.

The Meriah sacrifice—the immolation of a human being

to propitiate the Harth-Goddess—was another startling rite which met us in India. But, unlike Suttee, it was a rite

eleyate the social condition of the people by whom they were surrounded. Look, for instance at the case of Mairwara, the romantic tale of the civilisation of which dictrict has al- ready been set forth in the pages of Maga.* Thirty-five years ago we found there, in ihe very heart of India, a race of savage marauders—many of them fugitives from other States, men whom society had spewed out—with little or no regard for human life or liberty, practising infanticide, selling their mothers, agd committing every kind of atrocity without shame or remorse. In 1821 we subjugated the country of these freebooters ; and as early as 1827 Captain

Hall, the excellent officer to whom the work of improvement |

was confided, was able to report “ the complete and voluntary abolition of the two revolting customs, female infanticide and the sale of women ;” while the re-marriage of widows was , avided for, and the w.p-t forwg of slayery abolished, In

830 Captain Dizon suceeeded to the charge of the district, and under him the work of civilisation went on with a success that has left nothing to be desired. And by what measures have those savage tribes been reclaimed? Tn Mairwara, as elsewhere, the Ludian Government made the rude barbarians

foreign to the true Hindoos and the tribes professing the | ralminical faith, and was restricted to certain half-savage | tribes in the mountainous recesses of the interior, remnants }ofa wavo of quasi-uboriginal population that had spread over the land before the Hindoos rose to supremacy. It was amidst the pestilential jungles on the Orissa hills that wo first came face to face with the Khonds, For nearly a ‘century we and they had dwelt within a short distance | of each other, without the least contact or mutual knowledge. (ln 1835, however, the British troops occupied Goomsar, and after a brief but spirited struggle, the Khond tribes of the hills were subjugated. Then it was that Lieutenant | Macpherson, when employed in the work of surveying at the foot of the hills, was struck with the strange religious and social life of these wild tribes, and, at the very outset, stumbled upon the painful fact that the tribes were in the habit of offering up to their deities human beings purchased or bred for the purpose! The Khonds believe that the Supreme Being, or God of Light, the source of all good, created for himself a consort, the Harth-Goddess, who, rebelling against him, became the source of all evil. Having

the Khonds thereafter diverge into of which believes that the God of the Karth-Goddess, and has since oying her as the agent of his will;

The victims “ were furnished by a regular class of procurers, who either supplied them to order, or raised them on speculation. They were bought, perhaps, from their parents in hard famine-times, or they were kidnapped on the plains ; or were, perhaps, the children of the procurers themselves. Devoted often in their childhood to the Karth-Goddess, they were suffered to grow up as consecrated privileged beings, to marry wives, to hold lands, and flocks and herds, and other wordly goods,—cherished and endowed by the community for whom they were to die, and in spite of the tremendous doom that overshadowed them, leading happy lives to the last.’* ' The means of reclamation employed by the Indian Government here, and the difficulties encountered by its officers, were the same as those which we have already described in the case of the Mairs and the Bheels, But the success Of Macpuerson was no less gratifying and remarkable than that of Dixon and Outram. Providence helped the good work, and two unusually good seasons and rich harvests followed the first trembling renunciation of their bloody rite by the sacrificing sect of Khonds. The neighbouring Boad tribes, who likewise practised the sacrifice, viewed the result with wondering adwiration. They called us “ Boora Peunu’s people”~—-agents of the God of Light; and the re- sult was, that in a short time throughout all the Orissa hills, the Meriah sacrifice was abandoned, and the omnipotence of Tari Pennu, the evil Earth-Goddess, sank down into a delu- sion and a sham.
