He says, "We have found much to admire and very little to detest in the administration of public officers at Gwalior. Such is our conviction knowing well that if the people of India—the 180 millions—could go to the poll on a choice of governments an almost countless majority would prefer a native one to one which was ever supervising and controlling every act of their public life and haunting them with a vision of an English court of Law." ²⁷ - [Previous: c19.s7.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1923.c19.s7.1) - [Next: c19.s7.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1923.c19.s7.3) - [Up: c19.s7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1923.c19.s7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1923.c19.s7.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sen-1923.c19.s7.2) · Pramāṇa
