Answer the following question:
Discuss the main features of the Government of India Act, 1935.
उत्तर
The Act provided for the establishment of an All India Federation. There was to be a bicameral federal Legislature.
- Only 14 per cent of the total population in British India was given the right to vote.
- The federal legislature was denied any real power. Defence and Foreign Affairs remained outside its control while the viceroy retained special control over the other subjects.
- A new system of government was to be organised in provinces on the basis of provincial autonomy. Ministers responsible to the provincial assemblies were to control all departments of administration.
- But the Governors were given the powers to veto any legislation and also to legislate on their own. Governors also retained full control over the civil service and the police.
- The Viceroy and the Governors were to be appointed by the British Government and were to be responsible to it.
