| Article Name : | | | THE ACT OF 1935 AND THE FORMATION OF CONGRESS MINISTRY IN BIHAR, 1937-39. | | Author Name : | | | Mahesh Kumar Deepak | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-3945 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | The Act of 1935 was an important benchmark in the constitutional history as well as in the national movement of India. It changed, at least for the time being, the politico-constitutional character of the Indian National Congress (hereafter INC). Reeling under the pressure from the pro-reformists and advocates of the office-acceptance group, the INC accepted the scheme of Provincial Autonomy. The present article seeks to analyse the Government of India Act, 1935 and the reaction of various Indian political groups towards the scheme of Provincial Autonomy. While keeping the viewpoint of INC and All India Muslim League central to the argument, it also tries to highlight the political ideas of other important stakeholders viz., the Kisan Sabha and Congress Socialist Party towards the Provincial Autonomy and issue of office acceptance. | | Keywords : | | |
