The Government of Indian Act of 1935 and 1919 were landmark legislations that had an effect on the process of India’s independence struggle, each with different attributes.

*Government of India Act of 1919’s reforms were also notable as it expanded the provincial legislative councils and introduced diarchy in which some powers were devolved to Indian ministers while the major aspects of administration remained under British control. This act marked a shift towards limited self-governance, albeit within the confines of British paramountcy

*Contrary to this, government act made in 1935 was more ambitious proposing a federal system for India where provinces would have greater autonomy and a wider franchise. It also envisaged a bicameral federal legislature and enhanced provincial autonomy. However, its implementation was delayed due to World War II, and only provincial autonomy provisions were partly enacted.

Through these acts, demands for self-governance among Indians and political consciousness developed during this period in relation to India’s independence movement. The 1919 Act had given Indians a taste of political power but not without controversy hence triggering further calls for reforms and independence. The defective nature together with late implementation notwithstanding, the 1935 Act laid the foundation for post-independence governance arrangements.The 1919 act gave visuals of political power, on other side 1935 act focused on comprehensive federal system. The both acts have played important role in shaping the India’s independence movement and future governance too.
