Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Papers Relating to the Application of the Principle of Dyarchy to the Government of India: To Which Are Appended the Report of the Joint Select Committee and the Government of India Act, 1919 1. The measure passed in the closing weeks of last year brought to a decision the issues raised by the pronouncement on 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 Act, 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 India, are called on to work the new system. To be understood, the Government of India Act, 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.
