(217/82/41).
British Embassy,
Bagdad.
27th December, 1941.
My Lord Marquis,
With reference to the despatch of the
Secretary to the Government of India in the External
^ Affairs Department Do.F.32-N(p)/41 of the 29th
August, I have the honour to offer the following
observations on Maulvi Mohammed Bashir’s report on
his visit to Iraq.
2. The Maulvi’s work was, so far as could be
judged from the Embassy, good. He is a clever and
1 fluent talker and made the most of his talent. I am
informed however that his personal character was not
pleasing. he seemed to be grasping and malicious and
much given to back-biting. These defects are
reflected in his report, much of which is devoted to
animadversions on individuals with whom he came into
contact in this country.
3. Your Lordship is no doubt well aware of the
ceaseless currents of intrigue which swirl through the
fetid alleys of the holy Cities and will not wish me
to discuss in detail the eddies which find their place
in the Maulvi’s report. It will suffice for me to
remark that enquiry neither confirmed tne charges
which he makes against certain persons associated
with the distribution of the Oudh Bequest nor
substantiated his criticism of the Indian Vice-Consul,
Khan Sahib Tahir Hussein Quereishi.
4. His proposals regarding further work in
Iraq and, in particular, concerning the Oudh Bequest
do not appear to me to deserve serious consideration.
The statement that Arabs are fond of Indians and hate

Tne Governor-General of India,
