  • The Queen-Empress entirely concurs in the necessity and wisdom of a policy of religious impartiality; but she cannot help feeling that the Brahmins are those who incite the people against us, and that the Mahomedans are the real supporters of the British rule; and she does think that they should “be protected from insults and disturbance in their very peaceful and quiet worship, which is so opposed to idolatry.'
    • Communal Violence in the British Empire' by Mark Doyle. Also quoted at [1]
