Book excerpt: Excerpt from Census of India, 1901, Vol. 4: Assam; Part I, Report It is true that clerical labour is much cheaper in India than in Europe, but even if we assume that the charges under that head in England would be hye times what they are in Assam, the cost of compilation by the slip system would still be only one-fifth of the rate which was paid in Cuba and we must not lose sight of the fact that, though the lowest grade of Indian muharrir is cheap, he is also unreliable and slow, and that the higher paid English clerk would get through two or three times the amount of work in the same time. Comparisons between India and Europe are of course liable to be misleading, but as far as economy and speed are concerned, there seem grounds for supposing that the slip copying and sorting clerk may challenge comparison with the machine, and it is by no means certain whether even in accuracy he is it's inferior.
