Description
Excerpt from Indian Finance
Indian Finance.
By Thomas B. Moxon.
[Read January 12th, 1881.]
The study of Indian Finance is one well worthy of our attention, and one too which requires very careful consideration. The surrounding conditions are so dissimilar to those with which we are familiar that, if we would understand the problem, we must put aside all preconceived ideas and carefully qualify ourselves to look at the subject from an Indian standpoint. This is no easy matter. Accustomed as we are to the confined area of our own islands, we do not readily comprehend the immensity and diversity of the interests involved in the one word "India." Even old residents do not shake off this contracted feeling entirely, and herein is found one of the gravest difficulties that present themselves to the student of Indian Administration, almost every author, unconsciously of course, allows local colouring to warp his arguments, and on the strength of particular instances indulges in wide generalisations.
