Identify the most important feature of the Govt. of India Act 1935:

  • (A) Diarchy was completely eliminated
  • (B) Adult franchise was introduced
  • (C) It made the provinces separate legal entities
  • (D) The council of the Secretary of State of India was abolished
  • The best answer is: (C) It made the provinces separate legal entities
  • Explanation: The Government of India Act 1935 was the most important and comprehensive constitutional reform under British rule. Its major provisions are as follows:  
  • 1. Provincial autonomy: Provinces were made separate legal entities, meaning they had full control over provincial subjects without interference from the central government.
  • 2. Federal structure: It proposed a federation of India, although it was never fully implemented.
  • 3. Diarchy in provinces was abolished (so option A is partially true, but not the most important one).
  • 4. Limited adult franchise was introduced in provinces (so option B is also true, but on a smaller scale).
  • 5. The Council of Secretary of State was not abolished, so D is incorrect.
  • Takeaway: The most important effect was the establishment of legal and administrative autonomy for provinces, which would later form the foundation of a federal system in an independent India.
