Imperial Exhibit.

This article focuses on the book "Indian Patchwork," by Edward and Mary Charles. This book is an exhibit of the psychological pathology of imperialism. It is not important or pleasant, though for those who think about the problems of imperialism it is distinctly interesting. It is presumably authentic, but even if not a real record, it shows the frame of mind of some members of the leading imperialist nation. The book purports to be two diaries kept from 1927 to 1928 by an Englishman and his wife, while the husband was the principal of a mixed Hindu-Moslem university college in central India. It vividly records their irritation and doubts, torments of conscience, and repulsion from almost all Indians and from all aspects of their life in India as members of the alien governing group.
