Description
This volume cover one of the most significant periods in the political history of India. They deal primarily with the Punjab disturbances and the political situation in India in 1919 and offer valuable material on the social, economic and political causes of general unrest, and, also on the background of British policies and contemporary modes of thought. Pandit J awaharlal Nehru who was not a professional historian but who had the historian's perception remarked in a conversation with Lord Montagomery, that the Jallianwala Bagh episode marked a turning point in Anglo-Indian relations. On this b"agicevent which has provoked controversy among historians, ample material is available in these two volumes, which, I hope; may alter our existing notions on this theme. I have no doubt that these volumes contain materials of fundamental
interest for historians and would open up possibilities of revaluation and re-assessment of one of the most meaningful periods of our history. These documents have special value because they contain the evidence of those under cross-examination who never imagined that historians would be wanting to make use of them. In fact no full account of the history of our Freedom Movement can be written using material from these volumes. And it is with
a view to making this massive source-material available to scholars for their ready use and reference that these hitherto forgotten volumes are being published.
