Papers Relating To The Application Of The Principle Of Dyarchy: To The Government Of India

Papers Relating to the Application of the Principle of Dyarchy to the Government of India by Lionel Curtis outlines the concept of dyarchy as a transitional model for Indian self-rule under British governance. The book proposes a dual system dividing power between elected Indian representatives and British officials, aiming to gradually prepare India for full autonomy. Curtis’s arguments strongly influenced the Government of India Act 1919 and helped shape colonial administrative reforms, marking a critical step in India’s constitutional and political development under British rule.
