O knihe

Excerpt from Imperial Rule in India: Being an Examination of the Principles Proper to the Government of Dependencies

Although an author cannot pretend to dictate what use shall be made of the ideas he puts for ward, I should like at the outset to state explicitly that my intention has not been to furnish reaction aries with another argument against free institutions.

Those who believe that popular government is the highest form of political organization to which mankind has yet attained, may still be compelled to recognise that certain peoples are not yet cap able of managing their own affairs. Admirers of representative institutions have hitherto chie¿y con cerned themselves with fully developed nationalities, and have not been to the trouble of explaining how less perfectly homogeneous peoples are to fit themselves for that form of government.

This book is intended to suggest how the transi tion from one phase of political development to another may be effected; and from a passing refer ence to the subject in his Liberty, I gather that the solution I have proposed would not have been repugnant to Mill himself. For people in this early stage of development there is, he says, nothing but implicit obedience to an Akbar or a Charle magne if they are so fortunate as to find one.
