The main objective of the present study is to analyze the politics of India during
the crucial period of 1936-42, a period which somehow coincides with most of the
vieroyalty period of Linlithgow (1936-43). So this period will include responses of
the British and British Indian governments to the massive changes underway
during this time in Indian politics. Lord Linlithgow’s tenure which overlapped
with the post-1935 Act election period was the most important of the last three
British viceroys’ tenure, has been sadly and unduly neglected by historians. The
period of his viceroyalty, from April 1936 to October 1943, was an era which
actually witnessed the makings of all those policies and laying the groundwork for
others, which Lords Wavell and Mountbatten were sent to implement after him. In
all those events, even ones which unfolded after his departure, the after-effects of
administrative and political policies enacted during his tenure, played the decisive
part during the tenure of both of his successors, Wavell and Mountbatten, as well.
In other words the shadow of his policies hung all over the momentous events
which unfolded between 1943, the year of his departure, and August 15, 1947. And
sadly he is the one most overlooked of the last three Governor-Generals of India.
