Subject: Polity
Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
This topic traces the constitutional development of India under British rule. It starts with the Regulating Act of 1773, which introduced central administration, and follows through the Charter Acts that gradually increased the East India Company’s accountability to the Crown. The Indian Councils Acts in the 19th century paved the way for limited participation of Indians in governance, while the Government of India Acts of 1909, 1919, and 1935 shaped provincial autonomy and laid foundations for federal structures. Understanding these acts helps students see how colonial influences shaped modern Indian political institutions. The historical journey culminated in the demand for a sovereign Constituent Assembly, setting the stage for India’s eventual independence and constitution-making process.
