December 18, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

It will be recalled that in December of last year the All India National Congress, assembled at Calcutta, India passed a resolution declaring that if Dominion status were not granted by December 31, 1929, a campaign of non-cooperation and civil disobedience against Great Britain would be inaugurated and that the Indian Nationalist movement would thereafter direct its efforts toward attainment, not of Dominion status, but of complete independence. The goal of British policy was stated in the declaration of August, 1917, to be that of providing for 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.
