[Indian Unrest by Valentine Chirol]@TWC D-Link bookIndian Unrest CHAPTER XI 4/14
The other organization, called the Young Indian Association, with "head centres" and "inner" and "outer circles" that have a genuine Fenian ring, is even more "extreme," and is connected with the "Indian Red Flag" in India, to which Khudiram Bose, who murdered Mrs.and Miss Kennedy at Muzafferpur, and other young fanatics of the same type belonged.
The Young Indian Association seems to devote itself chiefly to the study of explosives and to smuggling arms into India.
In Anglo-Indian official circles extreme reticence is naturally observed in these matters, but from other sources I have seen evidence to show that both these associations were in frequent communication with the seditious Press all over India, in the Deccan as well as in Bengal and in the Punjab. The emergence of Japan has created so powerful an impression in India that one is not surprised to find the Indian revolutionaries, who live for the most part in the dreamland of their own ignorance, looking in that quarter for guidance and even, perhaps, for assistance.
But they have been sorely disappointed.
Indian students are well received in Japan, but they are in nowise specially petted or pampered, and when they begin to air their political opinions and to declaim against British rule they are very speedily put in their place.
