Empire, Politics and the Creation of the 1935 India Act
Author: Andrew Muldoon
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317144317
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
The 1935 Government of India Act was arguably the most significant turning point in the history of the British administration in India. The intent of the Act, a proposal for an Indian federation, was the continuation of British control of India, and the deflection of the challenge to the Raj posed by Gandhi, Nehru and the nationalist movement. This book seeks to understand why British administrators and politicians believed that such a strategy would work and what exactly underpinned their reasons. It is argued that British efforts to defuse and disrupt the activities of Indian nationalists in the interwar years were predicated on certain cultural beliefs about Indian political behaviour and capacity. However, this was not simply a case of 'Orientalist' policy-making. Faced with a complicated political situation, a staggering amount of information and a constant need to produce analysis, the officers of the Raj imposed their own cultural expectations upon events and evidence to render them comprehensible. Indians themselves played an often overlooked role in the formulation of this political intelligence, especially the relatively few Indians who maintained close ties to the colonial government such as T.B. Sapru and M.R. Jayakar. These men were not just mediators, as they have frequently been portrayed, but were in fact important tacticians whose activities further demonstrated the weaknesses of the colonial information economy. The author employs recently released archival material, including the Indian Political Intelligence records, to situate the 1935 Act in its multiple and overlapping contexts: internal British culture and politics; the imperial 'information order' in India; and the politics of Indian nationalism. This rich and nuanced study is essential reading for scholars working on British, Indian and imperial history.

JUDICIAL REVIEW OF LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS IN INDIA
Author: Dr Sanjay S Bang
Publisher: Ashok Yakkaldevi
ISBN: 1716714567
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Generally, people organize themselves into a political society and adopt the basic law for their governance. The first principle to which they cling is the principle of democracy. By definition 'democracy' means a form of government, i.e., 'a government by the people, of the people and for the people'. But even a little consideration tells us that nearly all those who use the word "democracy" today understand that it means more than a mere form of government. Democracy can better be defined as an absence of class government, as the indication of social condition where a political privilege belongs to no one class as opposed to the whole community. While the idea of democracy is relevant to the idea of government by the people; the concept includes in the context of the present-day affairs, a notion of justice and equality of rights for all members of the community. Once such an idea is accepted and Democracy is to be the form of government there will be equality of all before the law and equal protection before the law. The resulting concept from such an approach of society would be the Rule of Law. When people take the decision of having a government by the people and having a Rule of Law for themselves the understanding is reduced by them in a document which is known as the Constitution of the country.
