In the beginning of 19th century, Lord William Bentinck, then-Governor-general speculated that the possibility of vast change occurring in the frame of society would eventually lead to the British leaving the country under capable Indian rule. But he also added that such changes should not be expected for centuries to come, thus giving justification to the despotic rule by British in the meantime. Mid-century liberals like John Stuart Mill provided the ideological basis for such tendencies.
At the end of 19th century, Gladstonian liberals inducted Indians from the elite class into new representative institutions , thereby providing a framework for later self-rule, which became a reality by 1947.[1]
Right-wing journalist Swapan Dasgupta wrote in 1994 that the spirit of liberalism in India is superficial and is tempered by authoritarian ideologies like Marxism.[2]
