Publisher's Synopsis
Indian Speeches 1907-1909 is a book that features a collection of speeches delivered by Viscount John Morley during his tenure as the Secretary of State for India. The book provides a comprehensive insight into the political and social issues prevalent in India during the early 20th century. The speeches cover a wide range of topics including the Indian National Congress, the partition of Bengal, the Swadeshi movement, and the role of British colonialism in India. Viscount Morley's speeches are known for their eloquence and depth of understanding of Indian culture and society. He was a strong advocate for Indian nationalism and believed in the need for greater autonomy for India. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of India and the British Empire, and provides a unique perspective on the complex relationship between the two. Indian Speeches 1907-1909 is a must-read for anyone interested in the political and social history of India and the British Empire. The book is a testament to Viscount Morley's commitment to Indian nationalism and his efforts to build a more equitable and just society in India.The Government are entirely zealous and in earnest, acting in thorough good faith, in the desire to press forward these proposals. I may tell you that our Bill is now quite ready. I shall introduce it at the first minute after the Address is over, and, when it reaches the Commons, it will be pressed forward with all the force and resolution that Parliamentary conditions permit. These are not mere pious opinions or academic reforms; they are proposals that are to take Parliamentary shape at the earliest possible moment; and after taking Parliamentary shape, no time will, I know, be lost in India in bringing them as rapidly as possible into practical operation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
