In a response to President Roosevelt’s complimentary speech on British rule in India, the author of this article affirms that Roosevelt’s praise is both prized and justified. The author claims that the British administration in India removed cruel rulers, “established the reign of law” in India, and “indoctrinated” Indians with “the learning and theories of the West.” The author concludes that British administration needs to continue to press for social reform in India, in order to “save” Indians.
