True then. What about now?

"... many Englishmen and Indian officials honestly believe that they are administering one of the best systems devised in the world, and that India is making steady, though slow progress. They do not know that a subtle but effective system of terrorism and an organised display of force on the one hand, and the deprivation of all powers of retaliation or self defence on the other, have emasculated people and induced in them the habit of simulation.
... .
In my opinion, the administration of law is thus prostituted, consciously or unconsciously, for the benefit of the exploiter."
