who offered dominion status for india in 1929?
the viceroy lord irwin
during the first half of the 1930s, outspoken opposition towards the granting of dominion status to india became one of churchill's major political focuses. churchill was one of the founders of the india defence league, a group dedicated to the preservation of british power in india. in speeches and press articles in this period, he forecast widespread british unemployment and civil strife in india should independence be granted. the viceroy, lord irwin, who had been appointed by the prior conservative government, engaged in the first round table conference in early 1931 and then announced the government's policy that india should be granted dominion status. in this the government was supported by the liberal party and, officially at least, by the conservative party.
