History of Independence

At the end of World War II, elections were held in England in 1945 and the Labor Party came to power. Prime Minister Clement Attlee proposed transfer of power in India. On 24 March 1946, the Cabinet Mission consisting of three members of the British Cabinet, Pethick Lawrence, Stafford Cripps and AV V Alexander came to India.

Measures were suggested by this mission to remove the constitutional deadlock. But these proposals could not get general acceptance. Elections were held across the country, but the formation of the government was initially hindered due to the impasse between the Congress and the Muslim League, but finally the government was formed by the Congress on December 2, 1946. Bihar's doctors Rajendra Prasad and Jagjivan Ram joined this government.

On December 9, 1946, the session of the Legislative Assembly began under the chairmanship of Dr. Satchidanand Sinha (Provisional Speaker) to frame the Constitution of independent India. Later Dr. Prasad became the President of the Constituent Assembly. India became independent on August 15, 1947, after the Congress and the Muslim League reached an agreement on the question of the partition of the country.

26 January. With the coming into force of the Indian Constitution in 1950, the Indian Union of Bihar became a state. Under the Government of India Act 1935, it was decided to implement provincial autonomy, so that responsible governance could be established in the provinces. After this all the parties started preparing for the elections.

In 1935, the golden jubilee year of Congress was celebrated in Bihar under the chairmanship of State Congress President Shri Krishna Singh. In January 1936, after the ban of 6 years, the 19th session of the Bihar Political Conference was held in Patna, which was presided over by Ramdayalu Singh.

Jawaharlal Nehru visited various areas of Bihar and did intensive campaigning for the Congress. From 22 to 27 January 1937, elections were held in the constituencies of Bihar. In this, Congress had fielded its 107 candidates, out of which 98 candidates have won. The Congress got an absolute majority by joining both the houses. Permission has been given to constitute cabinets in the provinces in the New Delhi meeting of the Congress on March 17-18, 1939.

On receiving an invitation to constitute the cabinet, when Shri Krishna Singh sought assurance from Governor MG Hallett of not using his privileges, he refused. As a result, Shri Krishna Singh refused to form the government. After this, Mohammad Yunus of the second big party Independent Party got an invitation to form the government, which he accepted,

Thus Mohammad Yunus became the first Indian Prime Minister of Bihar (at that time the head of the provincial government was called the Prime Minister). In this council of ministers constituted on April 1, 1937, Mohd. Apart from Yunus, Wahwa Ali, Kumar Ajit P. Singh and Guru Sahai Lal joined. But this move of the Governor of the Congress Party was opposed. On June 21, 1937, Viceroy Linlithgow assured that the Governor would not interfere in the legislative work of Indian ministers. After this, the Congress executive decided to form the government. As a result, Muhammad Yunus had to resign.

On July 20, 1937, the Congress cabinet was formed in Bihar under the leadership of Shri Krishna Singh, in which Anugrah Narayan Singh, Dr. Syed Mohammad, Jaglal Chaudhary etc. were included. Ramdayalu Singh was elected the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly and Abdul Bari the Deputy Speaker.

When World War II broke out in September 1939 and the British government decided to involve India in the war, the Congress ended cooperation with the government in protest. As a result, the governments in all the provinces were dissolved. In Bihar, Shri Krishna Singh dissolved the cabinet by resigning on 31 October 1939.

In March 1946, elections were again held in Bihar. This time Congress got 98 seats, Muslim League 34, Momin 5, Tribals three and Independent 12 seats out of 152 seats in the assembly.

On March 30, 1946, the government was formed in Bihar under the leadership of Shri Krishna Singh. But the Muslim League gave a reactive response to the formation of the interim government by the Congress and riots broke out across the country. The riots also had an effect in Bihar. In areas like Chhapra, Banka, Jehanabad, Munger etc., the riots had more impact. Dr. Rajendra Prasad and Acharya Kripalani appealed to the people to maintain peace.

On November 6, 1946, Gandhiji issued a letter to Bihar, in which he expressed his grief over the riots again in Bihar. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru also came to Bihar and visited the riot-prone areas.

In December 1940, when the Indian Constituent Assembly session began under the chairmanship of Dr. Satchidanand Sinha, the permanent president of the Constituent Assembly, the members of the Muslim League did not attend. On February 20, 1947, the British Prime Minister Attlee announced the grant of constitution to India by June 1948,

Meanwhile, on March 5, 1947, Gandhiji came on a visit to Bihar and as long as he remained in Bihar, he continued to give the message of prayer, peace and unity. On March 14, 1947, Lord Mountbatten became the Viceroy of India.

The India Independence Bill was introduced in the Parliament in July 1947 and finally on 15 August 1947, India and Pakistan were established as two independent nations. In this memorable moment of country's independence, happiness was celebrated in Bihar too. In independent India, Shri Jairam Das Daulat Ram took over as the first Governor of Bihar and Shri Krishna Singh as Chief Minister.
