Scope and content

In the end C. R. Das came to see him, but he would not budge from his demand for im-mediate swaraj, which Ronaldshay rejected. Immediately afterwards, Das began an intensive campaign among the students, appealing to them to defy the Government and go to jail, and this resulted in large bands of students parading the streets and enrolling in unlawful associations. A quantity of arms was also found in an untenanted house. It was no longer possible to refrain from proceeding against Das and his colleagues.
