Indian Crisis - The Background

First published in 1943, this book argues for self-rule in India. The difficulties, in regard to the multitudinous divisions of caste, creed, and community, are squarely faced; the tragic failures and mistakes of the recent war years are dealt with; and full consideration is given to the permanent influence of great movements of thought.
