forum.banglalibrary.org/viewtopic.php?id=1255 DURING the sessions of the Round Table Conference on the future Indian constitution, held in London, many Indian delegates appealed to British statesmanship and generosity to enable India to attain equal status with other members of the British Commonwealth of Nations. Those who are depending upon British generosity to confer Dominion status on India will be sorely disappointed. However, I feel that the present condition of world politics is such that Britain will be forced to make certain concessions to India. It is generally said that Great Britain showed extreme liberality and love of freedom by extending responsible government — Dominion status — to Canada by an Act of the British Parliament — the British North American Act. The granting of Dominion status to the Boers, within a few years after the Boer War, is regarded as an act of unparalleled generosity on the part of the British people. But the fact is that British statesmen, due to Britain’s serious difficulties in world politics, were forced to make these concessions.
