(Marks 40)
Answers
Explanation:
General elections were held in British India in December 1945 to elect members of the Central Legislative Assembly and the Council of State.[1] The Indian National Congress emerged as the largest party, winning 59 of the 102 elected seats.[2] The Muslim League won all Muslim constituencies, but failed to win any other seats. Of the 13 remaining seats, 8 went to Europeans, 3 to independents, and 2 to Akali candidates in the Sikh constituencies of Punjab.[3] This election coupled with the provincial one in 1946 proved to be a strategic victory for Jinnah and the partitionists. Even though Congress won, the League had united the Muslim vote and as such it gained the negotiating power to seek a separate Muslim homeland as it became clear that a united India would prove highly unstable. The elected members later formed the Constituent Assembly of India.
Answer:
SO THIS IS THE ANSWER
Explanation:
The 1945-46 elections were, by far, the most critical at all levels in the annals of the history of the Indian sub-continent. The first Simla Conference had broken down on July 14, 1945, on the controversial issue of the representative culture of the All India Muslim League (AIML). Also, once World War II was over the new government in Britain took control. The new government gave some new instructions to the Viceroy of India. So, on August 21, 1945, the Viceroy Lord Wavell announced that elections to the central and provincial legislatures would be held in the coming winter. As for the first phase, it was decided that election to the central legislative assembly would be held to be followed by the election to the provincial assemblies.
