About The Book: In "The Political Future of India," the author provides a comprehensive analysis of India's evolving political landscape in the early 20th century. This transformation was influenced by global events and the ideals of self-determination and equity championed by President Wilson. India, with its rich history and unique civilization, had been under British rule for over a century, with limited self-governance. During World War I, India expressed its support for the Allies, desiring a more significant role in the war effort. However, it was only after the Russian Revolution and the United States' entry into the war that the British recognized India's strategic importance. The Mesopotamia disaster and a damning report on the Indian government's failures intensified calls for clear policies aligned with Wilson's principles. This book delves into a wide array of topics, from democracy and present ideals to the conditions of the problem, public services, the armed forces, and the international aspect. Each chapter offers valuable insights into the multifaceted challenges and opportunities that India faced during this pivotal period in its history.
