The Times, 19 May 1857, p. 9:

"Why indeed, should Hindostan or Hindoos change in accordance with what is considered the march of mind? Surely we have enough of paradox, enough of mingled science and superstition, strength and dotage, in the world nearer home...Why should not these enrolled Asiatic villagers revolt because the cartridge of the last invented rifle offends their creed of many thousand years" (112).

This quote is casting the Indian rebels in a negative light, essentially asking a presumptuous question that implies that nobody should be surprised that a bunch of superstitious savages revolted when one of their religious beliefs was challenged. Ironically, Britain has had its fair share of religious violence, so this quote is pretty hypocritical.

The practical exercise of power was in the hands of the servants of a soulless corporation on the opposite side of the globe, whose predominant feeling was contempt for the people over whom they were placed. Two hundred millions of human beings were under the absolute control of hardly one hundred thousand strangers in race and religion" (129).

Harper's New Monthly Magazine is a publication based in New York--its sympathetic feelings for the native Indians is directly related to the abolitionist cause that was going on in the United States at the time of this article's publishing.
