| Summary | "Indian Speeches (1907-1909)" by Viscount Morley is a collection of political speeches addressing the complex governance of India during the early 20th century, written in the late 1900s. The work encapsulates discussions on significant issues such as the Indian Budget, social unrest, and the challenges of British rule in a diverse and populous nation. It aims to highlight the intricacies of Indian political life while providing insight into the evolving relations between British officials and Indian society. The opening of the collection introduces a context of tension and change, as Viscount Morley addresses the House of Commons to present the Indian Budget. He emphasizes the importance of a responsible governance approach that weighs the implications of British decisions in India, recognizing the vast and complex community of over 300 million people. Morley reflects on various critical factors such as public health issues, notably the devastating plague, the opium trade, and escalating political unrest. He articulates the need for cautious reforms while also shedding light on the local sentiments of the Indian populace, indicating a desire for greater engagement and understanding between British rulers and Indian subjects. This segment sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the political climate in India, making it clear that the speeches will address vital considerations relevant to both British governance and the aspirations of the Indian people.
