Scope and content
Open defiance of authority is widespread, and civil disobedience is being talked of and has actually been practised for some time. The religious fanaticism of Mohammedans is being fanned by peripatetic speakers. Things have been fairly quiet at Calcutta, but within the last two days two Indian women have again begun to collect crowds and organise demonstrations.
