| (Online Course) GS Concepts : Mordern Indian History - Montague - Chelmsford Reforms and Its Provisions and Limitations Posted: 26 Jul 2012 11:10 PM PDT 
Subject : Modern Indian History
Chapter : The Rise of Neo-Nationalists or Extremists Topic: Montague-Chelmsford Reforms and Its Provisions and Limitations Question : Briefly discuss the Montague - Chelmsford reforms? Answer: Edwin Montague became the Secretary of the State in 1917. Lord Chelmsford became the Viceroy in 1916. He realized the urgency in granting some political concessions to Indians if only to act as speed breaker to the rising political discontent amongst the Indians. Background- Rising nationalism; Growing influence of the Home Rule Leagues, The First World War and the growth of revolutionary activities all these force the British Government to take some conciliatory measures towards meeting the demands of the Indian nationalists. On July 12, 1917, Montague announced before the House of Common that the nature of the system by which India was governed was 'too anti-diluvian' to be effective and that the Indians should be giving avenues for participating in the governance of their country in both, Councils and Executive. Montague on August 20, 1917 announced-before the British Cabinet that the British should take measures for "increasing association of Indians in every branch of the administration and the gradual development, of self-governing institutions with a view to the progressive realization of responsible government in India as an integral part of the British Empire." This was hailed as the 'historic pronouncement' and August Declaration. Indians mainly the moderates hailed it as "the Magna Carta of India." Montague visited India in November 1917 to ascertain views of different politicalised groups and a report was prepared in 1918 on the basis of which the Government India Act of -1919 was announced.
