Revered Suriji,
Please excuse me for not writing to you earlier than this. Want of leisure was the only ground.
I have read in papers about the action of the Palitana state in connection with your rights at the Shatrunjay hill. However, the original papers kindly sent by you were very use. ful. I have talked about the matter with Prof. Schubring. Naturally he has sympathy for your cause. Besides telling him orally the chief points of the controversy, I have given him the whole printed matter. As regards giving publi. city to this affair, it is rather difficult. There is a great differe. nce between the Indian and the German papers as regards their contents. No notice is taken, say of legal suits (of course German) unless they be of highly political importance here or unless they refer to some great scandal. In these circumstances it is not possible to induce any editor to insert the Shatrunjay affair. Moreover it will be of almost no use to your causa Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
