The Montagu Decleration
- by 1917, it was clear to the British that postponing political concessions had no benefit.
- Edward Montagu who was the secretary
of state for India announced a new
constitutional objective in the House of
Commons on 20th of August
- The promise of "self-governing
institutions" was a clear and significant
concession that an Indian parliament,
controlling the Indian administration, would be created
- Montagu set off a massive tour of India to consult politicians and public opinion
- The findings were
published in the 1918
Montagu-Chelmsford
report which became
the basis for the 1919
legislation
- By the times the reforms became law,
events at Amritsar in the Punjab would
have sealed the fate of the British Empire
in India
