Q2. Suggest any two changes in the structure of government of India Act

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The Government of India Act 1935 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It originally received royal assent in August 1935. It was the longest Act of (British) Parliament ever enacted until Greater London Authority Act 1999 surpassed it. Because of its length, the Act was retroactively split by the Government of India Act, 1935 into two separate Acts:

The Government of India Act, 1935, having 321 sections and 10 schedules.

The Government of Burma Act, 1935 having 159 sections and 6 schedules.

Explanation:

2. The Government of Indian Act was passed by the British parliament in 1935 and came into effect in 1937. It was based on a report by a Joint Select Committee, led by Lord Linlithgow, set up the two houses of the British parliament.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Indian Act of 1935 was not liked nor was even appreciated by the Indian people. This was opposed for a number of reasons. One was that the G.G was head of federation and could exert special powers in the reserved subjects. All the ultimate control was in the hands of the viceroy and G.G.
