Excerpt from The Defence of India
The future may bring forth many other wars into which we are forced unwillingly and defensively, in each and all of them the Empire must stand as a solid and comprehensive entity behind each of its members. India has, and Will have, her special difficulties and duties in addition to the menace already touched upon she has every day to guard hundreds of miles of her existing fron tier by alternately passive and active force of arms even in times of general peace. The dual problem which thus confronts her is one of considerable size and complexity, the watch and ward of her borderland is an integral feature of the defence of the Empire, and the outlines of her share in that defence are things which should be understood by every man to whom the security of the Empire is of value.
