In the North-Western Provinces the disproportion between the two races is probably not
so great, and yet the Hindus outnumber the Muhammadans in the Government offices. In
Madras, your memorialists are informed, the proportion of the Muhammadan to the Hindu
employes of Government is as 1 to 10; in tne interior of the Presidency it is as 1 to 33.
