Condemned Unheard The Government Of India And H. H. The Maharaja Of Kashmir

About the book:- The author has made a good attempt to analysis the British maneuvers to bring the then kingdom of Kashmir under their influence. It was an open secret that the then British Government wanted to annex Kashmir and that it was a question of time and skilful maneuverings and that he should be inveigled into allowing the first step towards the attainment of that object before he should be permitted to return to his own country. He also told His Highness that he must be careful not to give any excuse for the British authorities to interfere with him, and that, if they did unjustly interfere, he might always rely upon the English Press to defend his rights. If this principle of confiscation be allowed, how many of our noble families are liable to have their vast estate confiscated. He hopes that his countrymen possess a sufficient sense of honour to rise as one man and protest against this shocking iniquity being perpetrated in the name of the British nation. About the author:- William Digby was a British author, journalist and humanitarian. He set up the Indian Political and General Agency in London for the purpose of raising awareness about Indian grievances in the British Parliament and Press in May 1888. He served as its secretary during 1887–1892. He became a strong advocate of constitutional reform and acted as an unofficial guide to Indian National Congress leaders visiting London. He used his political contacts to raise India's grievances in the British Public sphere. Through his lobbying he was able to get Charles Bradlaugh to attend the Fifth INC Conference held at Bombay in 1889. Bradlaugh also agreed to introduce a bill in British Parliament for establishing legislative councils in India. During this time Digby also worked as the editor of the Congress Journal India. Though he was well paid for his efforts, the Congress office bearers in India delayed paying the expenditure for his lobbying efforts. Digby met those expenditures by doing private lobbying for the Maharaja of Kashmir. As part of his lobbying, he wrote a book titled "Condemned Unheard" advocating the Kashmiri king's position. This private lobbying and incidents of Digby and Bradlaugh receiving money from the Kashmiri king for presenting petitions to and raising questions in Parliament alarmed Allan Octavian Hume.
