- Notes for the lead
- The Congress brought the country and the 'peasants' (whoever they might be) into its orbit to the dismay of the Raj in the 1930s; the rural upsurge did not prevent the Raj from reimposing its grip on the country; indirectly, however, it destroyed the Raj because the British had taken to governing India by certain electoral rules which the Congress turned to its advantage.
- The Raj was lost during the period 1929 (Purna Swaraj) to 1942 (First Cripps). 1937 elections turned the tide, in terms of British desire to hold on. (Low, Brown, Cambridge School, RKR, Metcalf & Metcalf, Wolpert, Ludden, Spear, Stein, Robb)
