The chapter recounts Gadadhar Singh voyage to China on board the ship Palamcottah. He and his 7th Rajputs Regiment sailed from Calcutta on June 29, 1900, and made brief stopovers in Singapore and Hong Kong en route to Tianjin. The author opens with his reflections on China seemingly on the verge of collapse, Japan on the rise, and India already subordinated and closes with his thoughts on such topics as the Arya Samaj; ‘sea voyages’ or kala pani, i.e., the issue of Hindus crossing the ‘black waters’; the differential treatment of white and black soldiers; and the martial identity and ideology of Rajputs. As his ship approaches China, Singh launches into a discussion of religion and the deep compassion he felt towards the Chinese even though he was there to wage war on them.

Hybrid Regime

A hybrid regime court faces a legitimacy paradox: an activist court risks attracting backlash from the incumbent, whereas a deferential court may undermine public trust. The Hong Kong courts, at least in the twenty or so years following handover, provide an example of courts successfully navigating the legitimacy paradox despite the conflicting expectations from political actors. This article draws on the experiences of the Hong Kong courts to better understand the legitimacy paradox. It identifies three tools that Hong Kong courts have used to maneuver through the paradox, namely (1) the differential treatment of cases according to political stakes; (2) the use of comparative jurisprudence; and (3) the commitment to procedural justice. Studying these techniques may provide relevant insights to courts in similarly constrained political environments as to how judicial legitimacy can be earned. The article also reflects on the institutional future of Hong Kong courts in light of the increasing polarization of Hong Kong society as a result of the anti-extradition bill protests and signs of greater interference from Mainland China.
