Bengal Provincial Assembly

The Bengal Provincial Assembly was a legislative body in British India, established to govern the Bengal province, which is now divided between Bangladesh and India. Formed in 1937, it functioned under the Government of India Act 1935, allowing limited self-governance. The assembly consisted of elected representatives who debated and passed laws on regional issues. It played a significant role in the political landscape leading up to India's independence, reflecting the diverse voices of Bengalis. Its existence ended in 1947 with the partition of India, which redefined political boundaries in the region.
