About The Book: In this volume, the author explores the concept of Federal India, addressing the intricate challenge of India's political independence amid conflicting perspectives from the British and Indian communities. The central issue revolves around speculations regarding India's future status—whether it should remain under British tutelage or achieve autonomy. Despite grounded assertions, these differences persist. Resolving this complexity necessitates an understanding of human nature and a subjective assessment of essential elements in the twentieth century. Genuine efforts, replacing makeshift solutions, become crucial for England to fulfill its mission in India, considering historical insights and global constitutional models. While recognizing India's unity, potential discord arising from religious and cultural disparities in an autonomous India requires careful consideration. The essay advocates exploring a federal solution, incorporating sovereign Indian states into British India, respecting the uniqueness of these states and their historical commitments. The study aims to contribute to the ongoing examination of this intricate problem.
