Attlee’s Statement
- The announcement by Clement Attlee, the then British Prime Minister, on 20 February 1947, that the British would leave India by 30 June 1948 was a watershed moment in Indian history. The announcement came after years of political deadlock and communal violence, and it set in motion the process that would lead to the independence of India and Pakistan.
Reasons for the Announcement
- There were several reasons why Attlee made the announcement. First, the British government was facing increasing pressure from the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League to leave India. Both parties had been demanding independence for some time, and they were becoming increasingly impatient with the British government’s refusal to grant it.
- Second, the British government was concerned about the growing communal violence in India. The violence had been increasing since the end of World War II, and it was threatening to destabilize the country. The British government feared that if it did not leave India soon, the violence would get out of control.
- Third, the British government was facing financial problems. The war had been expensive, and the British government was no longer able to afford to maintain its presence in India.
