2. Question
1 pointsCategory: polityThe Government of India Act, 1935 provided for which of the following?
- Establishment of a Federal Court
- Establishment of the Reserve Bank of India
- Abolition of dyarchy in the provinces
- Adoption of dyarchy at the Centre. Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Correct
All the options were features of the Government of India Act (1935).
This dual scheme of governance was known as ‘dyarchy’- a term derived from the Greek word dyarchy which means double rule. It was introduced in India through the Government of India Act of 1919 which divided the provincial subjects into two parts- transferred and reserved. The transferred subjects were to be administered by the governor with the aid of ministers responsible to the legislative Council. The reserved subjects, on the other hand, were to be administered by the governor and his executive council without being responsible to the legislative Council.
The Government of India Act of 1935 abolished dyarchy in the provinces and introduced ‘provincial autonomy’ in its place. The provinces were allowed to work as autonomous units and administration in their defined spheres. It provided for the adoption of dyarchy at the Centre. However, this provision of the Act did not come into operation at all. This act provided for the establishment of a Federal Court which was set up in 1937.
