Committee: Emergency meeting of Indian Leaders,1857

Topic: Solve the matter by discussing with the Britishers

Position: General Neil, Madras Army Officer

I think that Indians should cooperate with us instead of waging a war.

If Indians wage war it will be loss to both the sides as then we would have no choice but to

lock Indians up in jail, instead if Indians cooperate then we could make India a much better

place and we are always trying to such as we gave Indians railways, new type of

education, new language, freedom of press and also tried to abolish many evil practices such

as sati.

I think that we could come up with solution peacefully instead of waging a war and losing

many precious lives of Indians and Britishers, a leader from Indians side and one from

Our side could meet a designated place and discuss the solution peacefully and clear all the

misunderstandings that might be the cause of waging a war.

The peaceful alliance between Indians and Britishers might help both countries develop even further
in every way we can help Indians by also getting rid of unemployment by educating them, there can
be so many different ways instead of waging a war and causing destruction and lose lives.

Lastly, i think that we both Indians and Britishers benefit from each other in some way or the

other so there is no point of revolting as we are nothing but India’s well-wishers and plan on

developing the country even more if Indians cooperate

Yours truly,

General Neil

Madras Army Officer
