Produktbeschreibung

Indian Speeches (1907-1909) is a collection of speeches by John Morley, the British Secretary of State for India from 1905 to 1910. The speeches were delivered during a period of great political and social change in India, and they reflect Morley's views on the British Empire, Indian nationalism, and the future of India. In his speeches, Morley argued that the British Empire was a force for good in the world, and that it had a responsibility to help its colonial subjects develop their own cultures and institutions. He also argued that Indian nationalism was a natural and positive development, and that the British should work with Indian nationalists to build a more democratic and just India. Morley's speeches were controversial at the time, and they continue to be debated today. However, they are an important historical record of a critical period in the history of British India.
