1931 in India

The year 1931 in India was marked by significant political and socio-economic developments as the country continued its struggle for independence from British colonial rule. The year saw the conclusion of the Round Table Conferences, during which Indian leaders discussed constitutional reforms. The Government of India Act 1935 was formulated in continuation of these discussions. Prominent figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru became increasingly active in the Civil Disobedience Movement, which aimed to resist British laws through nonviolent means. The year also experienced widespread agrarian distress and economic hardships due to the global Great Depression, which exacerbated the plight of farmers and laborers. Additionally, various movements advocating for social reform gained momentum, reflecting a growing consciousness around issues of caste and gender equality.
