Speeches On Indian Questions

About The Book : This book contains all the important speeches on Indian affairs, of the Rt. Hon’ble Mr. E. S. Montagu, the present Secretary of State for India. It is a fitting companion volume to the “ Indian speeches ” of Lord Morley, under whom Mr. Montagu served as Under Secretary of State between 1910 and 1913. One feature of this volume is the reproduction from Hansard of Mr. Montagu’s speeches on the Indian Budget, made in the House of Commons in four successive years, as Under Secretary of State. The collection also includes his Guildhall speech on “ Indian Affairs, ” on - “ Indian Land Policy ” delivered at the Liberal Colonial Club, London, and his well-known speech on the Report of the Mesopotamian Commission delivered recently in the House of Commons. Under the Indian Constitution, the Secretary of State possesses such vast powers of control and supervision over the Government of India that the speeches of any Secretary of State are bound to be of interest to Indian readers. But when, as in the case of Mr. Montagu, the holder brings, to his high office, knowledge and experience based on work as Under Secretary of State for India, and travel and intercourse with all shades of Indian opinion in this country, his utterances are bound to have additional interest. Even more than this, Mr. Montagu has not allowed the springs of his liberal enthusiasm to be dried up by office, and his pronouncements breathe the true spirit of liberal statesmanship.
