论1937年省立法会议选举对印度政局发展的影响

ON THE IMPACT OF THE PROVINCIAL LEGISLATIVE ELECTION IN 1937 ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN INDIA

依据 1935年印度政府法 ,印度在 1937年 2月举行了一次省立法会议选举。国大党、穆斯林联盟等政党参加了竞选。国大党获得了选举的决定性胜利。国大党在获胜后 ,拒绝与穆斯林联盟在一些省组成联合政府。穆斯林联盟作为诸多穆斯林党派之一 ,虽然已有 30年建党的历史 ,但是获得的穆斯林选票并不多 ,尤其在穆斯林占多数的省份 ,穆斯林选民对它的支持率不高。真纳认识到 ,穆斯林联盟必须采取措施 ,将穆斯林组织团结在穆斯林联盟之下 ,与国大党抗争。国大党和穆斯林联盟的矛盾和冲突加剧 ,使战后英国政府在移交政权时为维护印度统一所作的努力不能取得任何成效。

According to the government law of India, India held a provincial legislative election in February of 1937. The National Congress Party and the Muslim Union and other parties took part in the election. The National Congress Party won a decisive victory in the election. After that, it refused to collaborate with the Muslim Union to form united governments in some provinces. As one of the Muslim parties, the Muslim Union, with its 30 years of history, did not win many votes from the Muslims. In the provinces where the majority of population was Muslims, the party was not strongly supported by the Muslims. Jinnah realized that the Muslim Union must take measures to unite the Muslim organizations under its leadership and contend against the National Congress Party. The contradiction and conflict between the National Congress Party and the Muslim Union sharpened, because of which the efforts made by the British government to maintain India as a country in transferring power came to no desirable result.
