Study Notes

Post-War Nationalist Upsurge

Post-War economic hardship led to nationalist disillusionment with imperialism worldwide.
The Russian Revolution of 1917 further fueled nationalist sentiments.

Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms (1918)

Introduced Dyarchy in provinces, dividing subjects into reserved and transferred lists for administration.
Reserved subjects were administered by the governor through an executive council, while transferred subjects were administered by ministers from the legislative council.
The governor-general had extensive powers, along with the secretary of state, for interference.

Drawbacks of Dyarchy

The arrangement was too complex and irrational to be functional.
The central executive was not responsible to the legislature.
The franchise was limited.

Gandhi's Activism in South Africa (1893-1914)

Gandhi set up the Natal Indian Congress and started Indian Opinion.
He led a Satyagraha against registration certificates.
He campaigned against restrictions on Indian migration.
He campaigned against the poll tax and the invalidation of Indian marriages.

National Small Savings Fund (NSSF)

Established in 1999, the NSSF is administered by the Government of India, Ministry of Finance.
The fund is used to de-link small savings transactions from the Consolidated Fund of India.
The NSSF operates in the public account, and its transactions do not impact the fiscal deficit of the Centre directly.
Small savings instruments include postal deposits, savings certificates, and social security schemes.
