Excerpt from The Future Government of India At all times pledged to good government, England's task in India to-day is to pledge herself to Self-Government, retrieving the neglect and mistakes of the past, making up for lost time and wasted opportunities. Such a responsibility would have devolved upon her at this moment as a direct consequence of all that has transpired in India since 1833, and particularly of the changes effected in 1892 and 1909, even if the present World-War had not broken out. Its outbreak and its progress for over forty months have taken the problem of Indian constitutional changes out of the discretion of the Bureaucracy and lifted it above the level of optional obligations of the ruling country. What would be due to India in legitimate compliance with her long and persistent demand has, on account of the War, acquired an imminence that can no longer remain unheeded without serious detriment to British prestige and international unity. The problem now is to determine the lines of our advance. It is with this question of practical moment that this book deals in a critical and constructive way.
