BUTTLER Committee In Detail

In the time of World War I, the country rulers had made valuable support from the British government. At the end of the war, planning for the development of responsible governance in India was planned.

Consequently, the need to explain the relationship between the native rulers and the British government and the need to define the British sovereign power. In fact, in order to check it in 1927 and give an appropriate opinion regarding this, the Indian-States-Committee, commonly known as Butler Committee in history, was constituted under the chairmanship of Harcourt Butler.

BUTLER COMMITTEE

The Recommendations of the Butler Committee were as follows:

• Not to be governor-general, including the council, to be associated with the states, but Viceroy became the representative of the British Empire.
• The process of relation between the British emperor and the native rulers should not be transferred to the Indian government without the opinion of the native rulers as it is accountable to the administrator.
• The plan to create the State Council can be canceled.
• Interference in the rule of the native states should be left to Viceroy's decision.
• Special committees have been appointed to resolve the differences of the Government of India and the State States.
• A committee should be appointed to check economic relations between British India and the indigenous States.
• The appointment of political officers and education should be made separately and they should be taken from the universities of England.

BUTLER COMMITTEE CONGRESS

Butler-committee's recommendations have been strongly condemned because its authors invented a new theory. In the report of the Committee, it was clearly stated that the princely states did not belong to the Indian government, but it was directly from the British emperor. But there was no historical basis for this direct relationship, but this principle was invented only for the purpose of establishing a large wall between the Indian government and the native states. This principle was planned to weaken the responsible government in British India. For this reason, some Indians have strongly criticized Butler Committee's recommendations.

Shri C.Y. Chintamani said that "Butler Committee was bad in his birth, the appointment time was bad; the conditions of its investigation were bad; people working in it were bad and the way it was checked was bad. The arguments of this report are bad and its conclusions are bad. "

In the report of Butler Committee there was no sign of future for the native states of the country. They had a modern idea and a lack of such things that could communicate faith and hope.
