Introduction
The Secretary of State for India, Edwin Samuel Montagu, made a statement on August
20, 1917 in the British House of Commons was known as the August Declaration of
1917.
Promised responsible government to the people of India by stages, so that the Indians
would learn the art of governing their own state.
Due to this home rule movement was slowly withdrawn
Provisions of August Declaration 1917
The government policy is of an increasing participation of Indians in every branch of
administration.
Gradual development of self governing institutions with a view to the progressive
realisation of responsible government in India as an integral part of the British Empire.
The term ‘responsible government’ was implied the condition that the rulers were to be
answerable to the elected representatives, and not only to the imperial government in
London.
However, it was equally clear that the British had no intention of handing over power to
predominantly elected legislatures with an Indian majority.
Indian Objections
The objections of the Indian leaders to Montagu’s statement
No specific time frame was given.
The government alone was to decide the nature and the timing of advance towards a
responsible government, and the Indians were resentful that the British would decide
what was good and what was bad for Indians.
