We'll do this for milbucks once they come back online. Till then trust me and I will credit the accounts of the first correct answers at that time...

Round one for 100 milbucks.

Who uttered the phrase to a crowd of Britons in India and in what year, "Verily and truly the jackass kicketh at the lion."?

For a bonus 100 milbucks who was the person who was the British magnate who preceeded his speech?
 
You're close but the Marquess was on the opposite side of this issue and it was reactions to a move toward Indian equality that led to this event in history.
 
No, the man who gave this speech was British.

HINT: It was as part of the reaction by British in India to the proposal by the Marquess Ripon to allow Indian judges to hear cases against British citizens.

THE RUB: To think the Brits on this forum are letting a colonial such as my self to best them at trivia about their own empire... oh the shame.
