Shall India Live or Die?
National Home Rule League / New India Bookshop: 1925. This little book is intended to prove the inefficiency of British Rule in India in matters on which the life of the Nation depends. The facts and figures are taken from sources which cannot be challenged, and they reveal the tragedy which has reduced to poverty the Nation of which the wealth attracted European merhants, who, after their sordid fights with each other to obtain the largest share of plunder, were driven into various corners of the coveted territory, where they still remain, a negligible number, while their rivals from Great Britain established their power, and from traders blossomed into rulers. Shall India live or die? If she wins Home Rule, she will live. If the present system of government continues she will die. Let India speak. Hardcover. 5.5"x8.5", 159 pages plus a 25-page index. Light soil, a little cover wear, light fraying along the spine. Name stamps on endpapers.
