The Government of India Act, 1935 could not meet the people’s expectations. The Indians were very angry with the British policy. They seeded up the freedom movement. The non – cooperation movement turned the national movement into a mass movement. The civil disobedience movement also made the public ready to join the freedom movement.
So, to lessen the public dissatisfaction, British government had to make reforms. On the basis of round-table conferences of 1930, 1931 and 1932, British government had to release a white paper regarding the reforms to be done in future. On the basis of the suggestion of that white paper, in February 1935, bill was passed in British parliament, which was known as the Government of India Act, 1935, after the approval of British crown.
