§ 7. Mr. W. BAKERasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether his attention has been drawn to the allegations that slavery exists among the Darogha caste in the Rajputana States; and whether he will call for a Report on this subject?
§ Earl WINTERTONReports on the subject were received when the Geneva Slavery Convention was under consideration, and my Noble Friend does not think it necessary to call for any further 602 Report. The Government of India are satisfied that slavery in the ordinary sense of the term does not exist in any Indian State, but the attention of the rulers has been drawn to the provisions of the Convention.
