Indians in Fast Africa
SIR,—I would like to congratulate Mr. D. V. Tahmankar, whose letter on Indians in East Africa you have published in your valuable journal of January 30th, on bringing to the notice of the British Government and the public a marked deficiency in the composition of the Royal Commission which is shortly going to Kenya. It would be unwise not to take into account the very considerable number of Asians whose present and future livelihood and political rights are likely to be affected by the conclusions of the Commission. I entirely concur with the proposed inclusion of an Indian representative on the Royal Commission. The dominating need in East Africa is for a widely-based political relationship for the governing bodies who are to form a new partnership for co-operative political administration
