The government is an attempt to work out a system applicable to all the different elements entering into the composition of the Indian Peninsula. As a matter of fact, if one government were made for all the states of Europe, the problem would be a much simpler one. At the head of the Indian government stands the viceroy with a cabinet which has varying powers depending on the organization of the particular territory being governed. The native princes, theoretically, are bound to England only by treaty. They have their own assembly at which they discuss with each other what should be done. Their decisions are only recommendatory in character. The Indian Assembly has representatives from the parts of India held entirely under British dominion. About one-tenth of one per cent of the males over twenty-one years of age exercise the franchise. When it is remembered that only two million people in India can read and write English and only four million can read or write any language at all, it is seen how difficult the problem of selecting qualified votes is.
