I am directed to refer to Despatch Ho* 2-Te,
dated the 20th March 1934, from the Political Hesideat
in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
to my address (with copy to the
Secretary of State for India) on the subject of ill-
treatment of Bahreinis in Persia. After perusing this
Despatch and also Tehran Despatches Hos. 112 and 117 on
the same subject, the GoTernment of India are of opinion
that no final solution of this question is possible
unless and until the Persian Gorexnment abandon their
olaim to Bahrein and adait the separate existence of
Bahrein nationality. It is clear that such an admission
can only be secured as the result of the conclusion of a
general treaty between His Ifejesty’s Government and the
Persian Government, which appears unlikely to be achieved
in the near future. It therefore rasa ins to be considered
whether any effective action oan be taken to prevent the
officials of the Persian Government from ill-treating
Bahreinis resident in Persia in the meantime. As His
Majesty's Government will remember the expedient of
retaliatory aotion against Persian subjects in Bahrein
was considered in 1932 and it was then decided that it
cohid not be usefully adopted. The
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
