Reaction
Congress - split reaction
Some rejected the reforms on principle
wanted purna swaraj
Some wanted to grasp short term political gains
Indians in general
Saw it as too little too late
Because it took so long to pass, it suited the old Indian demands
British
Right wing
Saw it as too much, Indian people should not be given this much power
Noone happy
Left Wing
Saw it as too little - should give more
Federation and the Princes
Act designed to make India federal (like USA)
This plan included the princely states
Brits believed they could water down Congress ideas by including princes in federation plan - princes traditionally loyal to Brits
The plan was to give special concessions to princes - could choose own council reps
Princes refused to sign - worried about losing personal wealth and armies
Federation abandoned in 1939 - outbreak of WWII, Brits have more important things to concentrate on
