Remarks on Indian Affairs (1930 – 1946)

Dominion Status

The Mother has said that only a minor portion of the government will remain in British hands.

That seems to be a description of “Dominion Status”. In the Dominions the British Government have only a nominal power, not any real sovereignty.

It is not the time to speak of these things — for we have kept politics out of our scope. What we have to do is not to trouble ourselves about it but to get the spiritual realisation. The rest will work itself out according to the Divine Decree.
