> India must remain an integral portion of the British Empire so long as the British nation continues to be predominant at home.

It was well-understood in those days how much of the British Empire existed to defend or facilitate trade with what would have then been British India. After India was successful in the pursuit of its independence, it wasn't surprising the British Empire entered a terminal decline and Britain's superpower status was convincingly lost by the 1950s - a relatively fast decline. India was the land which economically justified a lot (but not all) of the whole imperial undertaking.

It's interesting, although perhaps not unexpected, that the LLM has captured this important geopolitical notion of its day.
