	Murder of Mr. Jackson, Collector of Nasik		Murder of Mr. Jackson, Collector of Nasik
		+
		+	The atmosphere of Nasik was no doubt exceptionally favourable for such
		+	morbid growths. For Nasik is no ordinary provincial town of India. It is
		+	one of the great strongholds of Hinduism. Its population is only about
		+	25,000, but of these about 9,000 belong to the Brahmanical caste, though
		+	only about 1,000 are Chitpavan Brahmans, the rest being mainly Deshastha
		+	Brahmans, another great sept of the Deccanee sacerdotal caste. It is a
		+	city of peculiar sanctity with the Hindus. The sacred Godavery--so
		+	sacred that it is called there the _Ganga_--i.e. the Ganges--flows
		+	through it, and its bathing _ghats_ which line the river banks and its
		+	ancient temples and innumerable shrines attract a constant flow of
		+	pilgrims from all parts of India. Indeed, many of the great Hindu
		+	houses of India maintain there a family priest to look after their
		+	spiritual interests. Nasik was, moreover, a city beloved of the Peshwas,
		+	and, next to Poona preserves, perhaps, more intimate associations with
		+	the great days of the Mahratta Empire than any other city of the Deccan.
		+	But though no doubt these facts might account for a certain latent
		+	bitterness against the alien rulers who dashed the cup of victory away
		+	from the lips of the Mahrattas, just as the latter were establishing
		+	their ascendency on the crumbling ruins of the Moghul Empire, they do
		+	not suffice to account for the attitude of the people generally in
		+	presence of such a crime as the assassination of Mr. Jackson. For if
		+	murder is a heinous crime by whomsoever it may be committed, it ranks
		+	amongst Hindus as specially heinous when committed by a Brahman. How is
		+	it that in this instance, instead of outcasting the murderer, many
		+	Brahmans continued more or less secretly to glorify his crime as "the
		+	striking down of the flag from the fort"? How is it that, when there was
		+	ample evidence to show that murder had been in the air of Nasik for
		+	several months before the perpetration of the deed, not a single
		+	warning, not a single hint, ever reached Mr. Jackson, except from the
		+	police, whose advice, unfortunately, his blindly trustful nature led him
		+	to ignore to the very end? How is it that, even after its perpetration,
		+	though there was much genuine sympathy with the victim and many eloquent
		+	speeches were delivered to express righteous abhorrence of the crime, no
		+	practical help was afforded to the authorities in pursuing the
		+	ramifications of the conspiracy which had "brought disgrace on the holy
		+	city of Nasik"?
		+
		+	All this opens up wide fields for speculation, but there is one point
		+	which a statement solemnly made by the murderer of Mr. Jackson has
		+	placed beyond the uncertainties of speculation. In reply to the
		+	magistrate who asked him why he committed the murder, Kanhere said:--
		+
		+	I read of many instances of oppression in the _Kesari_, the
		+	_Rashtramat_ and the _Kal_ and other newspapers. I think
		+	that by killing _sahibs_ [Englishmen] we people can get justice.
		+	I never got injustice myself nor did any one I know. I now
		+	regret killing Mr. Jackson. I killed a good man causelessly.
