Abstract
Great Britain faced a political and moral crisis in India in the years 1906-1914. The inhabitants of Bengal, angered at the partition of their province by Lord Curzon in 1905, talked openly of revolution. More moderate native leaders accused the British of reneging on their promises, made in 1858, to include more Indians in the government of India. The failure of the Indian educational system and the growing mistrust between rulers and ruled in India were likewise held up to censure. Native respect for the Englishman's innate sense of justice and fair play, the mainstay of the British Raj, was declining. Most serious of all, the Imperial Government in London seemed incapable, not only of coming to grips with the situation, but even of comprehending the full extent of the danger.
