Bombay Legislative Council

The Bombay Legislative Council was a governing body formed to advise and assist in making laws for the Bombay Presidency, a region under British rule in India. Established in the 19th century, it included elected and appointed members representing various interests, providing a platform for discussion on regional issues. Over time, its structure evolved to include more elected representatives, marking steps toward self-governance. The council played a key role in shaping policies related to administration, economy, and social matters within Bombay before India’s independence.
