HC Deb 08 July 1914 vol 64 c1068
10. Sir G. SCOTT ROBERTSON

asked the Under-Secretary for India if he has any information as to the supposed cause of the epidemic of suicides by burning alive among Bengali young women; and is it held to be the result of unhinging exasperation at real or imagined social, religious, or political grievances or disabilities?

Mr. C. ROBERTS

I have no official information.
