The Government of India Act (1935)

The Government of India Act 1935 was a significant law enacted by the British Parliament to restructure India's governance. It expanded Indian participation in government through elected representatives and established a federal system, creating separate governments for provinces and more autonomy. However, it retained significant control for the British government and reserved certain powers for it. The act aimed to prepare India for self-governance but ultimately maintained colonial authority, setting the stage for future independence movements.
