Question

Explain why the 1935 Act was a turning point.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

This act of 1935 was extremely important for a no. of reasons. It governed India as this was the last major legislation that the British passed before Independence was granted. One of the reason was for which it was important was that some provincial autonomy was granted. This was the first time that this had been allowed and was seen as an important step forward. Ministers in the provinces could have control over all departments, except when governors choose to intervene in cases of public order or to veto a bill they disliked. This was a draw back since it meant that the real power was in the hand of the governors.
