1945 Indian general election

The 1945 Indian general election was a significant electoral process held in British India, marking a pivotal moment in the country's political landscape. Conducted by the British authorities, this election aimed to fill the seats of the Central Legislative Assembly and the Provincial Legislative Assemblies. It featured a complex interplay of political parties, most notably the Indian National Congress, the All-India Muslim League, and various regional and minority parties. The elections were influenced by the ongoing discourse surrounding independence from British rule and the demands for self-governance. The results led to an increased prominence of the Muslim League, which advocated for the creation of Pakistan, further intensifying communal tensions and shaping the trajectory of India's partition in 1947.
