He had no sooner come than he began to create factions among the Indians and to bully the Satyagrahis.
"- Gandhi, M. Satyagraha in South Africa, Navajivan Publishing House, Ahmedebad. Whilst, therefore, they have not been included in the programme of Satyagraha, it will not be denied that some day or other these matters will require further and sympathetic consideration by the Government. You appreciate these scruples and regard them as honourable, but are unable to alter your decision. The West African colonies remained in the Empire; indeed, their territory was augmented. It will further be possible for us to assist Sir Benjamin Robertson who has been deputed by the Viceroy. "Within a short time of the issue of the report, the Government published in the official Gazette of the Union the Indians Relief Bill which was to effect a settlement of their longstanding dispute with the Indians; and I went at once to Cape Town where the Union Parliament sits. Translated from the original Gujarati by Valji Govindji Desai. "When the agreement was thus endorsed by the Indians, we had only to wait for the next session of the Union Parliament. President, South African Institute of Race Relations, 1957–58, 1968. '"Mr Andrews and I had had frequent interviews with General Smuts before these letters were exchanged. With a man like General Smuts settlement is possible only if he actually delivers the goods. But there were other, more low-key, diplomatic gestures made in other parts of the Empire. My first meeting with him in Pretoria did not prepossess me in his favour. From 1860 tens of thousands of Indian indentured labourers had been brought to Natal to work on the sugar plantations. "Mr Andrews was the mediator and the witness in the present agreement, and then there was Sir Benjamin Robertson as representing the Government of India. Many in the trade union movement made a connection between the consolidation and expansion of the British Empire and the provision of full employment at home. After the election Smuts resigned and Dr. D.F.

A spirit of revenge being alien to Satyagraha, it was best for a Satyagrahi to hold his peace when he encountered extraordinary difficulties in proving the fact of his suffering. I understand your position too. There was even something in it for the conquered and the colonised. In 1909 a circular from the Colonial Secretary, Lord Crewe, forbade concubinage with local women, although co-habitation between colonial officials and indigenous females flourished for many decades. I do not know what epithet the people South Africa now bestow upon General Smuts. In 1865 the Select Committee reporting on the British possessions in West Africa gave strong advice against ‘all further extension of territory or assumption of Government, or new treaties offering any protection to native tribes’, and even recommended, perhaps rather wistfully, that Britain should abandon three out of her four colonies on the West African Coast.These misgivings did not, in the event, halt the process of imperial expansion. "I am ashamed of writing the caption of this chapter as well as the chapter itself, for it deals with the obliquity of human nature. In the end, General Smuts, the minister for defence and native affairs in the South African administration led by Louis Botha, decided to capitulate to Gandhi’s demands.The Gandhi-Smuts agreement led to the passing, six months later, of the Indian Relief Bill which acceded to all the protesters’ demands: the £3 annual tax was abolished, marriages considered legal in India became legal in South Africa, and the domicile certificate became sufficient right to enter the Union. One of these contributions was Smuts’ proposal of holism, which he defined as “the tendency in nature to form wholes that are greater than the sums of the parts through creative evolution.”His book, Holism and Evolution (1926) developed this concept as a philosophy, which accorded considerable status to the worth of the human personality and its evolution. The answer is that in the whole continent there is not an Indian fit for the post.’     Another out-of-office proconsul, Milner, asserted in 1908 that ‘the idea of extending what is described as “Colonial Self-Government” to India…is a hopeless absurdity.’Despite these predictable denunciations, the Liberal policy of mixing kindness with the minimum coercion  seemed to bear fruit, at least in the short term.
