216 THE Repressive Laws Committee began its sitting on Thursday last. Three things are important in connection with a Committee of its kind: its scope of reference, its personnel and the witnesses it examines. As regards the first of these, there is not much to say in the present case. The list is exhaustive. At any rate, it includes all the more obnoxious measures, such as the Bengal Regulation III of 1818 and corresponding regulations in other Presidencies, the Seditious Meetings Act, the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1908, the Defence of India Act and the Rowlatt Act. As regards the second, perhaps the most obvious criticism is that the two major provinces where in recent years repression has been practised to a larger extent than in any other are both inadequately represented on the Committee. Bengal is represented by Sir D.P. Sarvadhikary, who may know a good deal about such things as temperance, reform and education, but who has never been connected with our public movements
