Modern Indian History

KEY POINTS

·         Magna Carta – It was a document that established the rights of English barons and major landowners and limiting the absolute authority of the King of England.

·         With Magna Carta, King John placed himself and England's future sovereigns and magistrates within the rule of law.

·         It became the basis for the fundamental privileges and rights of English citizens.

·         Simply put, it is a document constituting a fundamental guarantee of rights and privileges.

MCR – Modern India’s Magna Carta

·         Self governance – The report advocated the need to emancipate the local governments and legislatures from central control.

·         Federal structure – Ultimately, the MCR established the framework for devolution of powers and gave credence to the cry for self-governance.

·         Responsible government – One of the most far-reaching objectives of the report was to elucidate the principle of accountable governance by directing that the “Government of India must remain wholly responsible to Parliament.”

·         Thus was laid the platform for the development of a responsible government.

·         The MCR would go on to become the basis for the Government of India Act, 1935, and, ultimately, the Constitution.

·         The key principles of responsible government, self-governance and federal structure grew out of these reforms.

·         The MCR on Indian constitutional reforms are, thus, worthy claimants of the title of the Magna Carta of modern India.
