1937 Sind Legislative Assembly election

The 1937 Sind Legislative Assembly election was a significant electoral event held in the provinces of British India, specifically in the Sind province. Conducted in February 1937, this election was part of the broader provincial elections under the Government of India Act 1935, which aimed to introduce limited self-governance. The election resulted in a considerable success for the Indian National Congress, which emerged as the dominant political force in the assembly, capturing a substantial number of seats. The Muslim League also made notable gains, reflecting the growing communal tensions in the region. The outcome of these elections would play a pivotal role in shaping the political landscape of Sind and influencing the subsequent struggle for independence from British rule.
