This book explores the concept of establishing self-governance in India, with the author arguing that such a goal can only be achieved if India can first coalesce into a single entity. The author notes that while there are sentiments that could potentially lead to the formation of a national identity in India, such sentiments are currently absent, and there is little sense of unity among the disparate peoples and creeds that comprise the nation. The author suggests that the introduction of popular institutions, such as free press, public association and debate, trial by jury, and the introduction of representative institutions on the provincial councils and municipalities, have had a negative effect, further dividing the peoples of India along the lines of race and religion. This, the author argues, is a direct result of the policies and attitudes of the English rulers in India, who have treated their dominion as a possession of the English race, rather than as a land inhabited by peoples of diverse and rich cultures. Providing a fresh perspective on Indian history and the nature of nationalism, this book offers important insights for anyone interested in the historical and ongoing political development of India.
