Excerpt from Peace in India: How to Attain It
One tenth of the entire trade of the British Empire passes through the seaports of India; and this sea borne trade is more than one-third of the trade of the Empire outside the United Kingdom. It is greater than that of Australia and Canada com bined, and Within the Empire Indian sea-b orne trade is second only to that of the United Kingdom. India has become the largest producer of food and raw material in the Empire, and the principal granary of Great Britain, the imports into the United Kingdom of wheat, meal, and flour from India exceeding those of Canada, and being double those of Australia. For all these reasons the question of the present dangerous situation in India is of momentous interest to everyone in this country.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book by the author of Life and Letters of Sir John Hall and Anglo-Indian Studies, offers a profound analysis of the current political crisis in India, which is widely acknowledged to be nearing a dangerous boiling point. The author provides a clear-eyed view of the complexities of the situation in India, identifying the many causes of unrest and suggesting insightful remedies to address them. The book calls for a fundamental shift in the administrative approach, urging the British government to implement the principles of Self-Determination and Co-operation, particularly in the appointment of Governors, Commissioners, and District Officers, who should be elected by the Indian people. The author emphasises that such measures would create a more equitable and just system, bridging the gap between the governed and the governing. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in India's past, present, and future, offering a unique perspective on the challenges facing one of the world's oldest civilisations as it navigates the path towards self-governance and co-operation with its colonial rulers.
