Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from India Under Curzon and After This book was first planned in 1905, while Lord Curzon was still Viceroy of India. My original purpose, now much expanded, was to write an account of some of the more per manent and enduring features of his Administration, which seemed likely to become obscured in the public mind through Special causes. I was unable until last year to begin the task I had set myself, and even then was almost immediately stopped by more imperative duties. This summer it became evident that I must choose between rapid completion and indefinite postponement. The choice was not difficult, for the materials were collected, I knew my subject, and my views were already formed, although in some respects they have undergone revision. I decided to undertake the work at once, though time was pressing; I was about to journey forth again; and even as these words are being printed I shall be pursuing once more the familiar pathway to the East. It is necessary to say that Lord Curzon is in no sense responsible for this book. He did not suggest it, nor has he seen a line of it. It is in no respect a reflection of his Opinions, and he has neither authorised nor inspired a single statement that it contains. Probably there are portions of it with which he will disagree. I have had no access to any private documents or correspondence. For any inaccuracies I am alone to blame.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Spirit in India No hard-and-fast line can be drawn in history, but the arrival of lord curzon AS viceroy on December 3oth, 1898, marks a fairly strong and natural division. He had previously been Under Secretary for India (18 91 and under-secretary for Foreign Affairs (1895 and he was well known for the distinction of his Oxford career and for his travels in Central Asia, Persia, and the Far East. In the House of Commons he had further won a high reputation for industry, knowledge, and self-reliance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Lord Curzon in India written by Thomas Raleigh and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lord Curzon in India: Being a Selection From His Speeches as Viceroy Governor-General of India, 1898-1905 This volume contains a selection from the speeches on India and Indian subjects that were delivered by Lord Curzon from the time that he was first appointed to be Viceroy and Governor-General in August 1898, until his return to England from his second term of office in December 1905. The number of speeches actually made by him during this period amounted to over two hundred and fifty, for in India the Viceroy is, by long custom, almost the solitary speechmaker of the Administration; and it is clear, therefore, that a selection of less than sixty of these must leave large groups of subjects untouched. In choosing, an attempt has been made to subserve the general object of this book, which is to provide a key to the problems of modem Indian government, as well as a synopsis of Lord Curzon's administration; and accordingly speeches or parts of speeches relating to subjects of local or ephemeral interest have been omitted, and attention has been invited in preference to those utterances that explain the principles by which the Government of India is actuated in approaching its stupendous task, and the concrete manner in which, in Lord Curzon's time, it endeavoured to carry them into execution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches on India: Delivered by Lord Curzon of Kedleston, Viceroy and Governor-General of India, While in England in July August, 1904 By a law which was designed for different times, and which, in my opinion, is now obsolete, no Viceroy of India can leave India for England, whatever the urgency, public or private, without vacating his office and so it is that a man may be absent, as I have been, from his country for an unbroken period of five and a half years without sight or sound of home. During his long exile the weight and isolation of his great post tell heavily upon him. Fatigue of body and spirit often press him down; the volume of work that he has to discharge is such as no man who has not undertaken it can well imagine. You may judge, therefore, what a reward - I had almost said, what a tonic to body and soul - is such a reception as this to such a man; how his heart warms within him at the sympathetic recognition of his countrymen, and how fresh courage and spirit are infused into him to go forth again and renew his task.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lord Curzon's Farewell to India: Being Speeches Delivered as Viceroy and Governor-General of India, During Sept.-Nov. 1905 To these farewell speeches in India Ihave added the speech which was delivered in London at the Pilgrims' Dinner in April last, because it was akin to them, as in it also he spoke of the nature of the work that he had done in India, and also because it summed up the lessons which his high office in an Eastern Government had given him. The concluding portion of this speech is worth close attention from the democracy of England, as containing in a few weighty words the moral of his Viceroyalty in India. This speech is printed from the Times, to whose editor I am also indebted for the text of the beautiful poem, Welcome, which first appeared in the columns of his paper last December. To the gifted author of this poem. The venerable Dr. William Alexander, Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of all Ireland, my sincere thanks are due for the great kindness with which he readily acceded to my request to publish his poem here. His Grace, who is now in his eighty-third year, is very widely known as one of the best of our living sacred poets, and I am sensible of the obligation he has conferred on me by allowing his poem to appear in this volume, whose interest is much enhanced thereby..

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Actual India: An Outline for the General Reader N his recent speech at the Guildhall Lord Curzon said, I I sometimes think that the most remarkable thing about British rule in India is the general ignorance that prevails about it in England. When such a remark may be made, nemine contradicente, by a Viceroy of India, there need be no apology for a little book designed to serve as a brief introduction to the study of Indian afihirs. The chief merit of the work is that it contains in a succinct form a quantity of information about India which the reader could not obtain for himself without consulting a great variety of larger productions, including many ofiicial publications.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Open Letters to Lord Curzon on Famines and Land Assessments in India Bengal, admitted that in the Central Provinces the assessment might have been too severe.1 In India, also, during the discussion of the annual Budget in the Viceroy's Council, all the Indian members of the Council pleaded in favour of moderate assessments, long leases, and irrigation works,2 and Lord Curzon promised to bestow his careful consideration to the subject. And during the discussion of the Provincial Budget of the north-west Provinces and Oudh, Sir Antony Macdonnell, the lieutenant-governor of those Provinces, was good enough to refer to my statements, and pointed out that in Northern India the policy of the Government during the present century has been to gradually moderate the land revenue demand.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Failure of Lord Curzon: A Study in "Imperialism" An Open Letter to the Earl of Rosebery Views of cultured Englishmen in India. Excepting the Durbar and its theatrical surroundings, which were an abomination to anglo-indians, a levelling down to Asiatic tawdriness, Lord Curzon has done little. He has, indeed, appointed commissions on education, police, irrigation, &c but reform is still in the clouds. There have been grandiose schemes of water supply, costing some thirty millions sterling. Millions also are to be expended on great thoroughfares Opening up Calcutta, and millions on police. But where is the money to come from? There has, in fact, been much eloquence and imagination, written and spoken, but no achievements. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Among India's Students To the student, India represents a wealth Of philology and a maze of philosophical systems. To the statesman, India is a nerve centre of the world. The true fulcrum of Asiatic domin ion, says Lord Curzon, the Viceroy of India, seems to me to increasingly lie in the Empire Of Hindustan. The independence Of Afghanistan, the continued national existence Of Persia, the maintenance of Turkish rule in Bagdad are one and all dependent upon Calcutta. Nay, the radiating circle of her influence overlaps the ad joining continent and affects alike the fate of the Bosphorus and the destinies of Egypt. TO the statistician, India means one-fifth of the inhabitants Of the globe, for the Bombay Presi deney has the population of Spain, Holland and Norway; the entire population of Brazil can be accommodated in the Central Provinces the Ma dras Presidency and its native states have within them more people than there are in Great Britain and Ireland; the inhabitants of Sindh and the Punjab equal those of Austria; the population Of the German Empire can be placed in the North west Provinces and Oudh; and Bengal has within it as many people as there are in the United States Of America.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from India's Silent Revolution It was my privilege to reside in India during that por tion of Lord Curzon's regime when the partition of Ben gal precipitated the extreme nationalist agitation. A few years later a trip to Great Britain gave opportunity for inquiries concerning Indian movements from the standpoint of British administration. It was again my fortune to visit India at the time of the recent govern mental tour of investigation conducted by Hon. E. S. Montagu, the present Secretary of State. The demand for Home Rule, coupled with India's vast and effective participation in the world war, made this a particularly opportune time to gain fresh and vivid impressions.

Download or read book India written by Durga Das and published by Rupa Publications. This book was released on 2004 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a fascinating and wholly absorbing contribution to the history of the twentieth century. This fast-moving, lively and independent account of the politics and international affairs is enriched by intimate, perceptive and far from uncritical sketches of great leaders such as Gandhi, Jinnah, Nehru, Desai and Patel. Perhaps no other book reminds the reader so firmly that politics, even at its most exalted and dramatic, is about people. Certainly no one who is interested in India, in the history of British imperialism or in the realities of present day Asia can neglect this goldmine of a book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lord Curzon's Administration of India: What He Promised; What He Performed May it Please Your Excellency, I feel great diffidence in asking Your Excellency to accept this little book, which attempts a very imperfect review (by a Mahomedan) of the administration of the last seven years ; but when I recently saw an accusation made in some Bengal and Lucknow newspapers, that Your Excellency was wanting in sympathy for the people, I felt myself compelled to publish what I believe to be the feelings of the great majority of the people of India, and, most emphatically of those with whom I have been associated. In the belief that what is said in the following pages represents a sincere though perhaps inadequate appreciation of Your Excellency's administration, and in the hope that Your Excellency will not leave India under the impression that the great majority of the Indian peoples, and Mahomedans especially, are guilty of ingratitude.

Download or read book India and Imperial Preference Classic Reprint written by Siddha Mohana Mitra and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from India and Imperial Preference IN the Fiscal controversy the position Of India has hardly received any attention. The so-called leaders of Indian thought have not even discussed it. There is not a word in the Omnibus Resolutions of the Indian Congress about this most important subject, which afiects the economic condition of of the Indian people. A retired anglo-indian Official. Indeed, Sir Roper Lethbridge, Chairman of Devonshire Tariff Reform League, has just published a book entitled India and Imperial Preference; but a perusal of it reminds one of the Old saying when you have a very weak case, the best thing to do is to abuse your opponent's attorney. The book abounds with such choice expres'sions as suicidal Cobdenite folly (page silly free-fooders (page it refers to Free Traders as timorous souls (page to Free Trade as silly, antiquated bigotry (page and to Lord Curzon's famous despatch on India and the Preferential Tariff scheme as an impotent document (page a slovenly document (page and pitifully mean (page 69) Strong and unjustifiable language, though pleasing to the gallery, can never appeal to the thoughtful section of the British public. It is a pity that Sir Roper Lethbridge forgot that, in trying to champion the cause Of his Tariff Reform party, he practically questioned the intelligence of the British nation, when he asked his readers to accept vituperation for stern commercial facts.
