The Resident in response acknowledged that some anti-Jewish rioting had taken place in Bahrain in December 1947, and mentioned rumours of intended attacks by Pakistani Muslim employees of Petroleum Development Qatar against the Company's Sikh employees in Qatar, but felt that no special measures were required for the protection of Indian nationals in the Gulf.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 6; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
