Dr. Bahadurji's Motion

Dr. Bahadurji at the Carlisle meeting, and referred by it to thelndian branches of the Association. He did so in a very gentlemanly way, and while giving due credit to the Indian Medical Service for all that it had done in the past for his country and countrymen, in medical relief, medical education, sanitation and generally in creating and promoting rational medical science and practice in India, he urged that educational, scientific and sanitary appointments should be thrown open to the profession at large. There was no difficulty in showing that the Indian Medical Service was quite equal to carrying on in the future the work which it had initiated and performed in the past; that the Government of India might be trusted to adopt the best possible measures for selecting the best available agency fordoing its medical and sanitary work, and that all Indian medical appointments were open to any one who took the trouble to qualify for the competitive examination which constituted the portal to the Indian Medical Service. The motion was put to the vote and lost. Iv. McL.
