Background:
After the failure of Round Table Conference, the British government became much clear about the Indian problems. In this
regard, in 1935, a bill was furnished in British parliament which was passed immediately. It was known as Government Of
India Act 1935. This Act contained 14 parts (32 section) and 10 schedules and consisted of Two parts. Part I pertained the
provincial subjects and Part II contained federal list of subjects. This Act came into operation on 1st April, 1937 except part
II.
b) Federal Part:
The federal system which was introduced by the Act of 1935 was defective in many ways:
i) There was no guarantee to the individual liberties neither it could give a workable dominion status.
ii) The people were not given their rights.
iii) The system of diarchy which had failed in the provinces was introduced in the centre without any perspective results.
iv) All authority was vested in the Parliament which was under the British influence.
v) Vast authority was given to the Governors in the provinces and to the Viceroy in the centre which was against the
principles of democracy and provincial autonomy.
vi) The Ministers of State could interfere in the Government services without any reason.
Conclusion:
The Act of 1935 failed to satisfy various sections of the country. The political leaders of India rejected it as it could not
meet the demands of different political factions. Quaid-e-Azam called it as a defective document. Rajagopalachari, too,
considered it as worse than the system of diarchy.
