💡 Solution & Explanation

The Government of India Act of 1935 officially enacted the separation of Burma from British India, creating a distinct colonial administration effective from April 1937. Earlier statutes such as the Acts of 1909 and 1919 introduced separate electorates and provincial diarchy but did not detach Burma. This territorial reorganization was a significant administrative shift during the final decades of the British Raj.
