Central Legislative Assembly

The Central Legislative Assembly was a key part of India's government during the British colonial period, established in 1919 under the Government of India Act. It served as a legislative body where elected representatives discussed and passed laws for India. Comprising members from various provinces, it aimed to involve Indians in political decision-making. However, its powers were limited, and significant decisions were still made by the British authorities. The Assembly played a crucial role in India’s journey towards independence, highlighting the growing demand for self-governance and political rights among Indians.
