Synopsis

Explore the ideas behind India’s constitutional reform and how provincial autonomy could reshape governance.

This book outlines bold proposals for decentralizing power, restructuring the Imperial cabinet, and expanding local self-government. It presents a model where provinces gain autonomy while the center retains essential oversight, offering insights into the debates of the era.

  • Understand how a reconstituted executive and a larger, more representative legislature could balance Indian and British interests.
  • See the arguments for giving provinces control over most internal administration and finance.
  • Discover proposed structures for local councils, district administration, and expanded self-government at multiple levels.
  • Learn how such changes might affect governance, taxation, and the role of elected and appointed officials.
Ideal for readers of political history and constitutional reform who want a clear, contextual view of early 20th-century India’s governance debates, this edition sheds light on the forces shaping Swaraj and imperial policy.
