Indian policy made by the Imperial Government in August 1917. Ten, twenty, and thirty years hence, Parliament will send commissions to India to review the results. Their reports showing how far hopes and fears expressed in advance have been verified in practice should remove many things from the region of guess-work and prove valuable additions to political science. The arguments for and against the principle upon which the Government of India A ct, 1919, is based are scattered through vast numbers of official dispatches, proceedings of committees, debates in Parliament, and writings in the Press. After many years the future commissions may find some difficulty in collecting and digesting all these papers. As most of the leading points will be found argued in the documents contained in this volume, I have availed myself of the generous offer of the Oxford University Press to place them on record in this form. 2. These papers may also be of use to young civil servants and to future governors who, without previous knowledge of I ndia, are called on to work the new system. To be understood, the Government of India A ct, 1919, must be studied with a knowledge of the facts as they were before the changes were made. In Papers IV, V, and VI these facts are stated in outline. The papers are printed in the order in which they were produced ;but inquirers approaching the subject with no previous knowledge would, perhaps, do well to read these studies of Indian government before turning to I, II and III, which presume some knowledge of the facts they contain. 3.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex and controversial process of introducing responsible government to India in the early 20th century. The author delves into the debates surrounding the political reform movement in India, examining the various proposals and principles put forward to address the growing demand for greater autonomy. The book traces the evolution of the concept of "dyarchy," a system of dual government, as a potential solution to the challenges of granting self-rule while maintaining British control. The author meticulously lays out the arguments for and against dyarchy, drawing on firsthand accounts, discussions within influential groups, and official documents. He provides a detailed analysis of the proposed scheme, its practical implications, and the potential obstacles it faced. The book sheds light on the political climate of the time, offering insights into the clash between British imperial interests and the growing aspirations of Indian nationalists. It examines the role of key figures in the reform movement, the impact of the First World War on political thought, and the emergence of new ideas about the relationship between India and the British Empire. The book's detailed examination of the "Duke Memorandum" and the "Joint Address" provides a unique and valuable glimpse into the behind-the-scenes negotiations and the intense debates that shaped the course of Indian political development.
