1935 in India

In 1935, India was marked by significant political and social changes against the backdrop of British colonial rule. The Government of India Act 1935, passed by the British Parliament, aimed to introduce a limited form of self-governance in India, establishing provincial autonomy while retaining central control. This act was a response to demands for greater Indian participation in governance and was met with mixed reactions from Indian political leaders and parties. The year also witnessed the rise of the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League as key political players, setting the stage for future tensions. Despite increasing nationalist sentiments, socio-economic challenges persisted, including the impact of the Great Depression. The year 1935 thus represented a pivotal moment in India's struggle for independence.
