rptoi (Up breaking out of the Sepoy re
belHon in India there were no leas than 2)0
different religions creeds in that country,
each having ft numerous following. There
were no lefts than thirty-two grades of
caste, and the lines were so rigidly drawn
that It was almost Impossible for one to
travel or do business, Kven in the ranks
of the troops maintained by t he East Hi
dia company everything went by caste. . If
a soldier of second caato walked near
rnough to the campilre of a soldier of the
first caste to cast his shadow across It, the
.fire had to be put out and rebuilt on an
sotiiw spot. , Ont of a Regiment1 numbering ,
800 men not more than 100 could use the
same vessels for carrying water or cooking
food.
Up to this same dale it waa estimated br
Englifth statisticians that there were in In
dia 200,000 professional thugs; 175,000 profes
sional stranglers who Utwd tlM hands alone;
100,000 professional poisoners, and at least
2Ji0,OU0mn who made theft, roblry and
murder by violence their daily and only
avocation. All but the latter class traveled
attout as religious devotees and sheltered
themselves behind the mantis of! "faith."
India was intensely religious, and yet each
and tn'ery reed rfa declared by all others
to be a fraud and a sham. Kvery ruler,
even down to the head man of a village,
had arbit rary powers, but so long as mur
der and robbery were perpetrated ia the
name of religion the authorities dared not
Interfere. The British ps-ere in Imiia for
money Previous to the mutiny they were
caref ui not to interfei-e with caste or creed.
If a British official in a town on the Ner
budda, G ad h very or Ganges river counted
forty corpses per day floating down st ream,
or if he figured up MOO murders In a month
In his territory, lot evtni an ofKcial inquiry
waa net on foot.. So long as the natives
kept their hands off the English there was
no desire to punish them. At Nagpoor,
MM) miles east of Bombay, t he number of
deaths at the hands of thugs, stranglers,
poisoners and professional robbers during
the twelve months preceding the outbreak
was 1.384, and yet not one single' criminal
was brought to justice.
After the mutiny had Iwan put down the
British sei&ed, the reins of government
everywhere, and one of the first steps taken
waa to insure life and property. Caste was
temporarily knocked out, and religious
creeds were mixed up like beans in a bag.
This confusion waa a great aid, and laws
wwe passed and enforced which stand to
day. In five years over 7,000 robbers and
murderers were arrested, convicted and
executed. : Ihjring the same time 1,600
thugs, about i .OOOht ranglers and 500 pnjHon
ers weut to the wall old. It took fifteen
years to clean out these ' professionals, but
the feat was accomplished at laat. Not
that murder has ceased in India, but that
H is no longer practiced as a profession by
bauds of men traveling over the country.
