THE CONTEXT BARES IT ALL!
The bare facts narrated above shall fall into place once we peep into the mindset of the authorities in the matter.
- That since the "steps taken from time to time meet the purposes of the Governments, which in a sense, led to the riot and because only form a statement of the objects can it be seen whether these steps were well or ill calculated to give effects to the WISHES of the Government.
- According to D. Petrie, the Panyat police chief, "he had heard Giardit Singh arguing (on 29th Sept, Morning) that none of them (passengers) would go ashore at Budge Budge; he also said if they had done anything wrong, a judge should be sent for to take their statements, after which the Government could shoot them or so what if chose; if there were any questions of dying they would all die together and so on"
- It is a question of common experience that Indians too often return from abroad with tainted political views and diminished respect for their white rulers".
and finally 5. "That while some of the more ignorant (passengers) may have been persuaded that the disembarkation at Budge Budge was for some sinister purpose, yet the ringleaders and Gurdit Singh used it simply as an excuse because they had been foiled in their attempt to make a demonstration at Howrah, as they had sent telegrams from Singapore expecting a demonstration when they arrived at Calcutta.'
So all the "sinister design" the government in its discretion aimed at foiling was a demonstration of sorts on the arrival of passengers at Calcutta, which possibly in the eyes of the authorities had to be pre-med "at any cost" so the passengers much have to be huddled in to the prison bogies of the railways to be dumped at chosen places in India at scattered places as to prevent them from lodging even a peaceful protest over an issue in which they were nursing a legitimate grievance.
Note: The second phase of this writing is based on the material which the present writer is accessing from the National Archives for compiling a publication incorporating the core documents relating to the saga of Komagata Maru.
